I have an unanswered question: how active interface is determined in Linux? I mean, interface, which is used by web / mail / ping (default) ?
It's not an ""interface per say. To the best of my knowledge what happens is that your routing stack chooses the best route (gateway) to send your request through. Once it has the route selected it will use the interface facing said route as it's source IP unless a specific source IP has already been chosen by the application.
