[Webtest] Setting multiple OUTPUT (source) ip addresses with Webtest... can it be done?

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi,

WebTest uses HtmlUnit which itself uses jakarta commons-httpclient as "http
client". If your scenario is possible then it will be within
commons-httpclient and it should be configurable from you WebTest script.
See http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/
