Hey everyone,
I'm currently running a server with 3 IPs.

91.xxx.xxx.xxx --> server's main IP
79.xxx.xxx.xxx --> IP dedicated to the customer

One of the customers requested a dedicated IP and I assigned the IP to his account throgh DA, but he keeps complaining that the IP is not assigned even though he can access his website through the IP address. When I asked his reasoning, I found out that he wanted the outgoing IP to be his dedicated IP address, Apparently he is using some kind of File leeching script (to download files off of sites like Rapidshare.com and the like) and his script's requests are being sent through the server's main IP address as opposed to the IP address which I've assigned him.
He is not that PHP literate and when I asked him to use Bind in his script he refused, and honestly i do not have the time to go through his script and fix it for him.
So here am asking for help. is it possible (through DA) to make the outgoing requests be sent from the Dedicated IP assigned to that customer?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
The script has to be told to use a different ip. All outgoing traffic uses the server's primary ip unless the program/script has been told otherwise.

Apparently he has some confusing as to what a dedicated ip is. A dedicated ip is used for incoming connections. Once the connection has been established then the dedicated ip is used for outgoing as well but only after the connection is established.

The incoming connection has to be told which ip to use. The same is true with outgoing.
