Actually, I've talked to the author of the Linux port of the BSD 
networking tools.  I'm planning on helping with the next release.
The source for the BSD tools are available at:
  src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/computing/systems/unix/NetBSD-current/src

And if the "non-feature" of the rwhod is still around in the updated
source, then I fully intend to fix it (once I can find the time).
It seems pretty easy to fix.  It just needs to make sure that it 
checks the interfaces before it sends each packet.  

Take care,
