circumventing default route through loopback

[Peter Heerboth]

A few ideas come to mind.  You could trying using a web proxy.  Or, if 
you are running an open source browser, you could try to use the 
IP_OPTIONS socket option to specify strict source routing and then 
supply the exact path the packet must take.  I would try using a web 
proxy first.
