Hello,

We recently replaced a 2.2.1-RELEASE box running GateD with a Cisco 3640.

Install was perfect, and it's working great.  But we noticed something
odd.

When we do a traceroute from any FreeBSD machine (2.1.0-R, 2.2.1-R,
2.2.6-R) directly to the Cisco, the second of the three packets is
*always* dropped (With no exceptions.)  Traces carried *past* the Cisco
are fine however. 

Traces run from other OS's are fine, it's just a FreeBSD/Cisco thing. 
Another ISP I'm friendly with also sees the exact same thing with their
FreeBSD/Cisco(s) combo.  (Theirs is a Cisco 450.) 

To carry it further, the source and destination networks don't seem to
matter.  Traces from our FBSD boxen to their Cisco(s) *also* show the same
thing, as do traces from their FBSD boxen to our Cisco.

Even if there is no solution, we're very eager to find an answer.

Thanks,

-Jeremy
