Normally this is controlled by the routing table - packets will leave
via the interface indicated by the route selected for the destination
address.

Some programs, particularly those intended for network debugging, have
options that can control this in more detail (for example, ping's -r
can sometimes do what you want).  Check the individual program's
manpages for details.
