In trying to optimize some things, I recently ran a verbose traceroute 
and found the following at the start of it:

----
 1  199.190.67.1 (199.190.67.1) 36 bytes to 205.148.224.9  120.225 ms
36 bytes from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1: icmp type 3 (Dest Unreachable) code 3

20: x0100007f
24: xd0043500
28: x00003300
32: x00000000

Repeated for the first 2 hops (both thru my ISP). My setup is:

	Internet <-> FRAD <-----+--> Rigel.orionsys.com (205.148.224.9)
                 205.148.224.1  |
				+--> bbs.orionsys.com (205.148.224.2)

My ISP maintains my nameserver, and 199.190.67.1 is the first hop toward 
the ISP...

What am I doing wrong? Everything works, but the odd unreachable loopback 
message has me confused (not an unusual state). Is this degrading 
performance?
