Hi!

I'm using ocf:pacemaker:ping to ping some specific address. The requirement is that a specific source address (that is on a local interface) is being used to ping a destination. So if the resource moves between nodes, the same source address shall be used.

The address to use is a secondary adress on interface bond0, like bond0:xyz. I can spacify "-I bond0" and "-I bond0:xyz", but the latter seems to be ignores, as if I just said "-I bond0". Ping is from iputils-ss021109-292.28.1 (SLES11 SP3).

I had this requirement for HP-UX years ago, and the solution was to install a special local ping that allowed to select the source address.

So my preferences are:
1) Get it done with the software I have
2) Get an update for the software I have to get it done
3) Install or develop software to get it done
4) Despair ;-)

Regards,
Ulrich
