Force application to use one network interface

I want one application's traffic to go though one interface (ppp0), but everything else using the regular eth0.
The app connects to many IPs, and recieves connections from many others, so I cannot route by IP.
At the moment I use ppp0 as the default route and everything goes through there.

Is there no way to force the app into using ppp0, then I could set the default back to eth0.  Does there exist a wrapper, etc. to do this?  It seems like a simple scenario which is easily doable from a theory POV.

Thanks
