I don't think a java.net.Socket can be given two ore more specific IPs.

So we would need to change the plugin interface to allow instantiating
the same protocol driver multiple times - with the possibility to
set properties for each seperately.
e.g.
  -ior[0].hostname 192.168.1.2
  -ior[1].hostname 127.0.0.1:8080

Another possibility could be a seperate port forwarding on your host
like 'portfwd', 'ssh -L ..' or any other suitable tool.

Any better idea around?
