Subject: using aliased ip's

perhaps stupid question, but here goes: 

I have a server (freebsd2.1.6) and a whole bunch of ip-addresses of which
many are aliased to the servers network interface. 

When I make connections _from_ this server, is there an easy way to make
this originate from one of the aliases ip's rather than the one I gave as
the primary for the server? 

I already know the one where you change the primary one and reboot or
something, but somehow, I think there should be an easier way.

Thank you
