Hi, thanks for the quick answer.
Any advice on where I should start to implement this?


Thanks,
Joe

There is currently no support for setting the client source port of the
network test (you can set just the target port) => kernel will choose
dynamicaly from the pool.

To support this feature, it will be needed to implement optional
specific bind on the source port, which probably should be quite easy.

Possible syntax for example (to check the server/target port 5000 with
client/outgoing port 10000):

--8<--
check host myhost with address 1.2.3.4
  if failed port 5000 with sourceport 10000 then alert
--8<--
