Initial Comment:
Hi,

for some loadbalancing setups it might be interessting to spoof the natping's source-ip on multiple hosts so the pings would apear to come from the same host. I created a patch for that. It uses raw-sockets and works for me on linux.

I am not sure, how portable this approach is, so some people might have a look on this to get it running on other platforms than linux.

Best regards,
Marcus
