Feature request: Bind to interface exclusively

[fruity]

I'd like to request a feature please. To be able to bind to an interface, and only that interface - should it drop then all transfers would stop instantly.

The reason for this it to better integrate with VPN's. Currently, if Ispecify 'ppp0' under the Network > Interface section, and the VPN (on ppp0) drops, then connections drop, but they restart a few seconds later but on eth0. I'd prefer it to use my vpn connection only, if it isnt available then no transfers happen until the specified interface is up again.

Thanks for all you time

Yesterday I installed danted http://www.inet.no/dante/, a socks server.

I used the minimal config, allowed "local" clients to connect without passwd and set the external host to ppp0.
Then, I set up deluged to use it as proxy and it seems to work well, except I don't see any dht nodes.
When the vpn goes down. deluge stops up/downloading. When the vpn goes back up, it restarts - after a while.

I have read that you can setup ssh to run as a socks proxy server (with -N -D pars), and this would be an elegant solution if only there was a way to make ssh "blindly" forward the packets to/from the vpn tunnel without logging in to an external host. But it seems ssh needs login to do this... Maybe someone else has a solution to this. It shouldn't be necessary to install a separate socks server when ssh has (some of) this capabilities.

Sorry for bumping, but can I see your config file? I suck at making those.

How do you tell dante which interface to use?
