Subject:   IP addresses alias and setting source it as source address ?

Hi,

I have a requirement to test bulk WAN traffics and I only have limited
number (2 actually), and all I intend to do is to alias *MANY* IP
addresses (on same subnet) to the same interface.

But I am faced with another problem. How can I force application
like ftp/ping/fping/tcpblast etc to use each of the assigned alias and
the real IP address to concurrently run that many sessions to simulate
traffics coming from different machines on the same network ?

The reason for that is also, with different source and dest address,
it will use different route to get to the dest, which will also be
a FreeBSD with many alias addresses as well.

TIA
M.C Wong
