With Commons HttpClient, it's easy to select a specific IP address source. This patch allow to define a source IP address in GUI which is a JMeter variable. This last are retrieve from a CSV Data Set Config element which list a 'pool' of IP addresses. The IP pool is (all) configured IP addresses aliasing (or network interface) on JMeter machine. Now, JMeter with HTTPClient Request+CSV Data permit to simulate Virtual Users with their IP addresses.
