This is a typical traceroute:

<7 wormspace //root># traceroute sl-eskimo-2.sprintlink.net
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 24.0.227.43 @ sn0

Sometimes I get even more *'s than that...  Notice that 7 and 8 are answered
by the same machine; not all the traces do that.

Here's another:

The network just goes all to hell after it gets out of @home's space.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
