I don't think this sent so I am trying again. Sorry if it is a dupe.
In FreeBSD
# ping -I fxp0 208.67.222.222
ping: invalid multicast interface: `fxp0'
# ping -I fxp1 208.67.222.222
ping: invalid multicast interface: `fxp1'

eeBSD+4.3-RELEASE
-I iface
Source multicast packets with the given interface address. This
flag only applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.
traceroute -i fxp0 -I 208.67.222.222
traceroute -i fxp1 -I 208.67.222.222
Both work
ping -S 192.168.2.1 208.67.222.222
works but I have a hunch that it just sends through the WAN interface with
that IP. If that makes any sense.
