The client part of a UNIX connection can be bound to a specific address, just as is the case for TCP clients. IReactorUNIX does not expose this functionality, though.
As a related issue, twisted.internet.unix.Client.getHost always returns UNIXAddress(None), since presumably it thinks there is no way applications could have bound to another address (which is currently true).

Research direction
Start with the IReactorUNIX.connectUNIX API and the related twisted.internet.unix.Client.getHost behavior described in the issue. Trace how UNIX client connections represent their local address, then define completion as supporting a specified bind address and reporting it through getHost consistently.
