Again, is what we currently have broken?  I am confused as to what this
is referring to.

Yes, ping and traceroute are broken at least on Fedora, CentOS, and busybox.
On a multinic, multigatewayed machine, passing ethX instead of the IP
address will give the false result: "Destination Host Unreachable"
when the machine's default gateway is reached thru the other nic.   In
the following example, the default gateway is thru eth1, not eth0.

Unrelated to this thread.  We're having a hard enough time making sure
this conversation accurately reflects the views and needs of everyone
involved.  Please let's not throw in another tangent.

Thanks,
Matt
