Several people have produced some patches for fping that adds an option to select the IP source_address for queries and some have said they submitted them to the sourceforge fping maintainer. Since I did not see any official fping distributions that include any of those patches, I recently Cc-ed the sourceforge fping maintainer's address in a question to the smokeping mailing-list asking about that patch but so far I have heard back only from that list with a pointer to a debian patch. Per request from Jason Harris, I include here a copy of the patch that is usable in ports/net/fping/files that adds that option. Fix: The patch from: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=198486 was adapted to apply to the ports system. Put the following patch into ports/net/fping/files/patch-fping.c-dash-S and re-install fping. It will then take a <-S source_address> command-line option for selecting the out-going source IP: How-To-Repeat: n/a
