check_route or equivalent?

[Robin-David Hammond%KB3IEN]

looking at my ping'(ipv4)s man page using -g and the IP of the secondary 
gateway would work.

using ipv6 i tend to run one rtsold advertisement for each pipe for each 
gateway. Thus a host on a network that is comprised of two interconnected 
routers with independent access to two shared pipes would have at /least/ 
4 IPs, thus src address alone is sufficient in the ip6 world!

('local'* services are by fe80:: or rfc 4193 addressing depending upon 
segmentation).

* as in LAN or corporate-internal.
