Just type ping at the command line with no options to find out.  Look for the
following:
[-I interface or address]

Cheers,

Quoting Cade Cairns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Like I said, some versions of ping might allow you to specify the
source interface (or address) as yours apparently does. However, they
don't all do that.

I have this setup
eth0 = 10.10.11.1
eth0:1 = 10.100.5.1

ping commands I use

ping 10.10.12.2
PING 10.10.12.2 (10.10.12.2) from 10.10.11.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.10.12.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=849 usec
and
ping -I 10.100.5.1 10.100.5.5
PING 10.100.5.5 (10.100.5.5) from 10.100.5.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.100.5.5: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=605 usec

This helps?
(And does what I think it should do?)

Peter
