This is a feature that I proposed implementing previously (you
probably found http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/openconnect-devel/2017-November/004591.html).
It's questionable whether it can or will work broadly enough to be
useful, and not confusing.

1) Cisco AnyConnect servers *appeared at first to support it*.
Including "X-CSTP-Address: 1.2.3.4" as a *request* header for CONNECT
appeared to have the desired effect. However, we later tested other
Cisco AnyConnect servers where it didn't work.
2) Juniper servers: no known way to request a specific address using
the Juniper NC protocol.
3)  GlobalProtect servers support it, and the official GlobalProtect
clients use it. Including "preferred-ip=1.2.3.4" in the getconfig
request basically does the trick.

Patches to add the `--request-ip` option, IPv4 only:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/openconnect-devel/2017-December/004638.html
I would be quite interested to know if it works for you with Cisco
servers. As mentioned above, there are at least *some* Cisco servers
which ignore it?

Thanks,
Dan
