Several people have produced some patches for fping that adds an
option to select the IP source_address for queries and some have
said they submitted them to the sourceforge fping maintainer.
Since I did not see any official fping distributions that include
any of those patches, I recently Cc-ed the sourceforge fping
maintainer's address in a question to the smokeping mailing-list
asking about that patch but so far I have heard back only from
that list with a pointer to a debian patch. Per request from
Jason Harris, I include here a copy of the patch that is usable
in ports/net/fping/files that adds that option.
