Plugin Name: check_http, netutils.c
Example Plugin Commandline: check_http www.example.com -B one.of.our.ip-address
Tested on operating system: Gentoo Linux
Tested on architecture: x86
Tested with compiler: gcc version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.2)


This patch adds the functionality of binding the socket to chosen local IP address. It modifies the behavior of nb_net_connect() function but it doesn't break compatibility with older versions.
It is easy to add this option to other plugins which use nb_net_connect().


Greetz,
