If we can use raw sockets then I should be able to bind to the ip i want, otherwise I'm going to code a very simple proxy handling program in c that does it for me. as for using wget, you can use the --bind-address it seems to specify which local IP to bind to. So that seems like a plausable option, using IO.popen and stuff. cheers. Andy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
