I believe binding an IP's source address to an interface address

interface, not the default gw.

I'm afraid that's not how it works. In the absence of policy-routing
options, packets are always routed ONLY by destination address.

Binding to a particular interface only set's the source IP that will be
attached to the packet, and will influence routing on the *return* trip
of any replies.
