I force the interface by creating a static route and not creating any route-to pf rules for the tested IP's. In my case one gw is bridged via wireless to the ISP2 interface, so no route is needed. Never tried the 'ping -I' but it sound easier than the creating routes, so thanks! I'll have to try that against a carp interface for my second ISP since I only have one address and it is assigned to a carp interface. I'm using the round-robin, load balanced route-to command in pf.conf to load share among the available ISPs. So my default gw isn't used much. -Steve S.
