[erlang-questions] clarify: gen_udp Set outbound ip address

[mog]

Sorry If my question was not clearer.  Although IP_RECVDSTADDR is
something erlang should also support as I will often use multiple
interfaces.
However this was not the problem I was refering to.   When I send a
message with gen_udp:send it is received at the end point as the Local
Address it was sent out on.

gen_udp:open(Port, [binary, {active, false}, {reuseaddr, true}, {ip,
Addr}, {add_membership, {Addr, LAddr}}]).

Where Addr is my multicast Ip, LAddr is my network ip, so sent messages
are received as 192.168.1.50 instead of 224.0.1.185.
