+### BIND_SOURCE_IP (unreliable / only on some systems)
+
+On some systems you can also set the source IP in case multiple IP addresses are attached to your interface, like this: `BIND_INTERFACE=eth0 BIND_SOURCE_IP=1.2.3.4 LD_PRELOAD...`
+
+**Warning**: It highly depends on which system you are using BIND_SOURCE_IP. Kernel versions 5.10 seem not to work, whereas Kernel 5.15 seems to work, see https://github.com/JsBergbau/BindToInterface/pull/12#issuecomment-1776647513
+
+**Use at your own risk and try if it works on your system**!
+
 ### DNS_OVERRIDE_IP
 
 When you have multiple interfaces you normally also have multiple DNS servers. Since your program is bound to specified interface, also DNS traffic has to go through that interface.
