One way to do this ( I don't know if it's the best) is through the routing function.
I had to do this once for a specific customer.
Work with TCP/IP Routes and you can add a specific interface for a specific destination.

Yeah, the remote site expects it to come from a particular IP address.
I can "fix" one situation. When I ftp from one lpar to a lpar in the DMZ
I can open up the exit point on the lpar in the dmz to accept the whole
range of addresses served by this source lpar.
However the other situation requires I talk to the "consultant".
Apparently certain bar code printers accept ftp commands. And these are
locked down by the IP address they expect communications to come from.

I have multiple interfaces defined on my LAN on this one lpar
(See CFGTCP, 1. Work with TCP/IP interfaces)
One might be for Domino server 01, one for Domino server 02, and one for
normal i5 stuff.
When I use the FTP client how do I tell that to bind to a specific
address? Like, when I ftp FROM my i5 lpar to somewhere else how do I
tell
it to use the IP address for i5 stuff and not one of the ones I'd prefer
be reserved for Domino?
What difference does it make which IP address is used for an outgoing
connection? Is it a security thing?
