Multiple IP's (IP Aliasing)

I have 5 IP's on my server configured as IP alising with only one
Interface.

Whenever i make connection outside say for www, pop3, whatever, the main
IP is being used to make connections to the foreign server. 

What if, i want to use other IP's (on my server) on my choice to make
outside connections?

Can this be done?? if yes then how?

One sol i think is that change the default eth0 Ip and use others as
aliases. but this requires manual steps.
