Nope, that's a job for my IP_SENDIF change (as yet unimplemented). This change, however, may make things somewhat easier for interfaces configured with the same broadcast address; IP_ONESBCAST currently relies on the fact that an interface is numbered and has a network broadcast address to do what it does, but I can see that changing or perhaps even becoming obsolete if IP_SENDIF is implemented. It's a trivial change to implement SO_BINDTODEVICE on top for Linux compatibility.
