Thanks!
With your help and some googling I've found and adapted 
code to get dst ip of UDP packet.

Small test program successfully ran and reported correct
dst addresses of incoming UDP packets.

Now, I am trying to fix (or shall I say 'improve'?) dnscache.
You may find some code below my sig. It's a start.

The problem is, how to _send replies_ with correct src ip?
I can bind a temporary socket to needed src address,
do a sendto(), then close socket. This will work,
but this can introduce a race - any incoming
packet to this (ip,port) will inadvertently
be classified as belonging to temp socket!
This is going to be a nasty bug, manifesting
itself only under load.

I looked into sendmsg(). Looks like ther is no way to
indicate source ip.

Shall I use some other technique?
