Hi Junaid,
You can create a Groovy script to set various destination addresses for your requests.
soapUI does not offer a extensive direct control lower-level layers of OSI model like transport or network layer. I assume you're trying to control them indirectly.
For connection handling soapUI uses Apache HttpClient 3.x currently, which by default "always does its best to reuse connections". In other words, it uses the only way to control connection behavior via HTTP (and the underlying socket being used) and that is by using persistent connections, i.e. HTTP v1.1 keep-alive mechanism.
You can turn off persistent connections by ticking Preferences->HTTP Settings->Close connections after request. I just realized that accompanying text "Closes the HTTP connection after each SOAP request" is misleading so I've changed it to state the proper request type being closed, i.e. HTTP.
I hope I've answered all your questions.
Cheers!
