Hello, yes ! your understanding of my case is correct. So to answer your question : what I imagined was to have a configurable IP in the output interface for each "service (WSG,MPG, etc...)". Really like a the concept of channel in IBM MQ.
I imagine a new feature in each service when you can specify your LOCLADDR for outgoing traffic.
The oubound interface is chosen by the routing rules table like it's currently the case
And the IP within this previous interface is chosen by customer with the LOCLADDR parameter (new feature), with default value as Primary.
Is it clearer for you ?
Thanks
Thanks for raising this request. We agree that it would be useful to be able to bind the outgoing traffic on a secondary IP address including secondary address on an LACP interface.
For the awareness of all the readers, it is already possible to configure a Front Side Protocol Handler to bind to a specific address, therefore it is possible to use one interface for input and a different interface for output.

Therefore, based on our understanding of your use case, the enhancement is to be able select a address for outbound flows. If that is correct could you please clarify the following points;
Is the request to have a different output interface configurable per-domain on each domain object, or per-tenant? Or is the request to have every url-open be configurable for which interface it should go out on?
