Thanks for the feedback, Daniel.
I guess the answer depends on whether the socket libraries use the tomcat
listening port as the source IP. If you have three tomcat instances listening
on three different IPs, each instance should be able to open a client
connection using the same source port, a
Hi Eric,
It should behave the same way. The socket client application will be
assigned an ephemeral port.

I guess I may have answered this question for myself. At least I can simulate
it with ncat. Note that I have two ncat sessions open to the same remote server
using the same source port, but with different source IPs.
[root@testserver ~]# netstat -antp|grep ncat

Two quick questions.
Question 1:
When tomcat creates a TCP connection to a remote server (for example, a
back-end database) tomcat is acting as the TCP client in that case. Does it use
the IP it is listening on as the source IP for its outbound client connection?
For example, Server1 has three
