There are no oracle parameter to adjust the outbound TCP/IP-address or NIC. But there are some possibilities to use a secondary NIC, but these are not oracle specific, these are valid on the whole machine. The possibilities you have are dependent on your network topology between client/server. At first, you must have separate TCP/IP addresses for the NICs on the client. And now there are some alternatives, define a special static route or use TCP/IP addresses from a separate segment or ... Now the Unix-admin must do his job.
