Could you please clarify the intended use case?

The proxy_bind directive is expected to be used to force an IP 
address used to connect an upstream, originally - to make sure the 
outgoing address used is one allowed by upstream's security 
restrictions.  Just using distinct proxy_bind directives for 
different upstreams is usually expected to be enough (if at all 
needed).
