I am traceroute'ing a DNAT'ed host. Surprisingly, all routers between the DNAT'ing firewall and the host appear as the IP address I am traceroute'ing. Is this intended? Can it be controlled in some way? (it is not necessarily bad)
Example: traceroute to 217.116.235.62 (217.116.235.62), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 192.168.0.2 (192.168.0.2) 4.152 ms 0.875 ms 0.865 ms 2 217.116.235.62 (217.116.235.62) 1.928 ms 1.272 ms 1.430 ms 3 217.116.235.62 (217.116.235.62) 2.013 ms 2.338 ms 2.330 ms
Line 1: DNAT'ing firewall. Line 2: A router. Line 3: DNAT'ed host.
I would the expect the router to show up with it's own IP address, not the original target address.
