Yes, as follows. I forced each ncat to use a specific source IP and source port.

 #  ncat -s 192.168.10.58 -p 3456 remoteserver 9000
 #  ncat -s 192.168.11.215 -p 3456 remoteserver 9000

Gotcha. So I need to find a way to force all connections from a tomcat instance 
to remote IP "X" to always use source IP "Y." That's my challenge.

Om my goodness. You, sir, are my ever-livin' hero. That WORKED. I tested it, 
and now my tomcat instances connect to the database server using whatever local 
IP I specify in the localSocketAddress property.

I am a happy man.
