To specify where the client should listen for incoming requests.

Find a free port and use it for calling that method, e.g.

ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(0, 1, getByName("192.168.1.1"));
SocketAddress sa = ss.getLocalSocketAddress();
ss.close();
jettyClient.setBindAddress(sa);

Since I don't use that kind of functionality (I'm developing on
the server side), this is just an educated guess.
