The IP-stack resides in the kernel. Which interface will be used for
sending is determined by what routes you have configured. The traffic is
expected back on any interface, and the kernel will make sure the
socket-handling program receives the proper data.
If you're talking about nsca sending passive checks, you'd still have to
work on the IP layer, so rewriting it wouldn't have much impact.
