no that wouldn't work for 2 reasons.
1/ for local sockets, the routing decision is made already before it 
gets to the firewall
2/ for non-ocal packets (from another machine that you are routing)
the packet needs to b etested on the recv (in) side of things
but by then the sending machine has aready decided on a local address too.
The only way to do this would be to do: setfib -1 my_aplication
so that the sockets were created looking at fib 1
or:
setfib -1 /bin/sh
so that all children used fib 1
