Hi Hauke, Florian,

So right now unbound uses the OS.  It creates a TCP socket and connects
to the destination.  The OS then decides what interface to send this
from.  Your route table is consulted by the OS to decide this.

It does not use the configured outgoing interface for TCP.

In the interest of prevention of feature bloat, I would like to ask,
apart from thanking you for reporting the oddity, if such code is really
necessary?  (and would random sampling then be sufficient?)

Best regards,
   Wouter
