OK - I'm fairly clueless on this...

This is very strange - I can't get traceroute to work as I expect.
Forgive me if I'm being stupid as well as blind, but perusing the man
page for traceroute brings no joy.

It simply doesn't produce expected results - I don't think I'm on the
same network as www.freebsd.org, so where are the answers from all of
the intervening hops?

zsquid# traceroute www.freebsd.org
traceroute to www.freebsd.org (69.147.83.33), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  www.freebsd.org (69.147.83.33)  1.050 ms  0.970 ms  2.110 ms



Why is this so important? Well, I'm in a network segment with two
routers, and I'm trying to determine that the machine is using the
correct default gateway.
