There is a reason for that: Unless you have two interfaces from which you can
reach the destination IP address, what the original poster asked makes no
sense. Or does it?
If you do have two interfaces in such condition, you can use a iptables nat
rule (the OUTPUT chain) to set things the way you want.
For example, if you want the bacula-dir process with PID 1234 to use IP
10.0.0.2, you can do this (untested):
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -m owner --pid-owner 1234 -j SNAT --to-source
10.0.0.2
But it's really a strange thing to do :-)
