Unbound's behaviour was quite unexpected and in my case caused Unbound
to use a tunneled IP address instead of a direct route. Although it
works for me, I think Unbound should use "outgoing-interface" for TCP, too.

TCP offers enough spoof protection, so even using only the first
configured address would be sufficient, IMHO.

Random sampling would be more consistent with UDP behaviour, though.
