Is it possible for an application to request a socket (tcp) and have it set the source address without using raw sockets? (the addresses would be bound to the interfaces. [no spoofing]). This would be a tcp client connection, not bind()ing to a specified address.

yes- but it requires a bind to interface. Shouldn't this be on stackoverflow? –  tMC Oct 3 '12 at 20:36
    
@tMC - not necessarily. There's no code (for example). I know it's not essential for Stack Overflow questions to have code, but that's certainly one vote against it being migrated. –  ChrisF♦ Oct 12 '12 at 15:42

No, it is not possible without bind or raw sockets.
