      The JGroups FD_SOCK protocol is a failure detection protocol based on sockets.
      The client side of the FD_SOCK TCP connection was not binding to a specific IP address.
      If you tried to open a firewall connection specific to each individual application, there was unnecessary cross-talk between applications.
      client_bind_port, port_range, and bind_addr were added to FD_SOCK, which allows you to bind the outgoing connections to a specific IP address and/or port range.

      The client-side of the TCP connection FD_SOCK makes is not bound to a specific IP, so the OS just chooses one.
      This makes it difficult to set up strict firewall rules on a multi-homed server.

      Customer would like a way to bind the outgoing socket to a specific IP
      (either re-using bind_addr or adding an additional property would work).
