Actually, RFC 3484 would be the preferred mechanism over configuring every 
application.

Application specific address binding should only be used for applications that 
need an exception to the host-wide source address selection choice.

        +       Fewer surprises for your ops team
        +       Lower probability of a mistake leading to incorrect source 
address selection
        +       Reduced probability of configuration mistake time-bombs
        +       Reduces the amount of configuration required for a host
