Varnish and multiple interfaces

[David Birdsong]

Varnish doesn't send traffic out of interfaces, the OS does. Your
kernel routing table will determine which device is part of a
particular route. For most traffic, the 'default' route is the route
that matches outbound traffic.  You can change your default route to
exit a particular interface--though I'm not sure if an ethernet alias
will work. Try it out.

I need Varnish to bind to eth0:0, which it does perfectly, however, outgoing traffic is going through eth0. Is there anyway to tell Varnish to send outgoing traffic through the same IP address I tell varnish to "listen" to? I guess I can route the traffic accordingly via iptables, but I'd prefer to do it at the application layer if possible.
