Ulf has a 4 ``port'' Zynx ethernet card, based around the 2104x
chipset. (I was talking to him on IRC about this). If he took a
machine connected to one of the interfaces (say de0, which has aliases
defined on it) and tracerouted ACROSS the machine with the Zynx card
(to another net on one of the other interfaces, since this is a
router), traceroute returned the address of the last alias added to
the de0 interface as being the first hop, not the ``primary'' address
of the interface, which IMHO (and his too) should be the address
returned.
