The source IP address is chosen by IP according to the outgoing interface 
that will be used to send the packet.
If you have access to the source code of the application, you can use 
setsockopt() to change that behaviour, and force a specific IP address.

However, why do you want to use the aliases? Just because you have them 
doesn't mean that you *must* *use* them.
