      I need to know if you guys are able to do like

      ping -S OPT1(wan2)_IP some_public_ip_like_google.com

      or

      traceroute -s OPT1(wan2)_IP some_public_ip_like_google.com

      I can't ping for mine. There's something wrong with my dual-wan setup. policy routing works. fail-over don't seem to work. not gonna load balance.

        From what I understand, pinging and traceroute using anything other than the WAN interface is broken.

          Broken is the wrong word.  FreeBSD does not have multi-homing.  We achieve dual wan features by using PF's route-to.  Unfortunately there is no way to use route-to from the host (that we know of) without doing some sort of complicated loopback / nat tricks.
