Requesting ability to set NNTP download IP

[lord_rahlly]

Hello,

My system uses several virtual IP's to isolate individual services, for example

sickbeard 192.168.0.46
couchpotato 192.168.0.48
sabnzbd 192.168.0.47
etc...

While sabnzbd allows you to set the IP it uses as a server in the /etc/sysconfig/SABnzbd and ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini files, it does not use this same IP for its download efforts. I grabs the lowest # of the virtual IP's. It would be more optimal if it respected the host = setting and used that same IP or if another setting could be added to allow people to lock down the IP. With the wonderful help of the user here named sander I was able to get the working in my setup. The thread detailing that endeavor is here https://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18156 It would only be a few lines to change. One challenge I had (I am a programmer but have never coded in python) is I was unable to get a clean read of the host = param. I could read other strings in the ini file but not that one. So as mentioned in the thread I used the cherryhost setting for this purpose (perhaps being unable to read the host param is a bug?).

Thanks for your time and all the hard work you put in building sabnzbd!
