Do you need it to send this traffic through eth1, or use eth1's IP as 
the source address?  The other answers assumed the latter.

Most operating systems don't provide a way to specify which interface 
gets used.  Setting the source IP doesn't force traffic to go through 
that NIC.  The choice of interface is almost always based on the 
destination address, not the source address.  And even if the OS 
provides a way to force traffic through a particular interface, I don't 
think BIND will use it.
