You want to set the IP address in the SIP profile. Remember, FreeSWITCH can
use multiple IP addresses and multiple ports, so it's not like Asterisk at
all in that respect. You control which IP/Port each SIP profile uses. If
you tell the SIP profile explicitly to use a specific IP address then
that's what it will use and will ignore the other NICs.

Note: You can also tell mod_event_socket to listen on a specific IP/Port
that is different than what your SIP profiles are listening on.
