Details - There're two WAN connections in my router. I installed `iputils-ping` for some fancy features. If I use `ping -I wan2 x.x.x.x`, the ICMP Echo request will still be sent from the main wan interface, ignoring the `-I` option. Busybox ping doesn't have this problem. 

The iputils-* packages are version 20101006. This issue is solved by [[https://github.com/iputils/iputils/commit/f455fee41c077d4b700a473b2f5b3487b8febc1d|this commit]] and I suggest that the iputils packages should be updated.
