Hi Claudio, I mostly used ping(8) as an example. I notice the same behavior using nmap's "-S <addr>" flag. This ties into the question I posted yesterday regarding problems with nmap and nessus. I'm mostly trying to figure out how to sending *all* packets out only one interface. What if there was no default route on the host? Thanks.
