    Hi T0nyP,

    Yes, this should work if the self IP is in route domain 0. 

    Cheers, Kai

Thank you and really appreciate the feedback.

Just want to check. I don't have a linux as of the moment.

Would this run using below command?

traceroute -s <source ip> -g <gateway ip>  <destination ip or fqdn>

Hey T0nyP,

The -g option is enabling soure-route IP option which is most likely banned from local or internet routers anyway...  

Afaik there is no such option to overwrite the next-hop of the tracert command. Its always based on your local routing table. I might be wrong in this case tho... 

Cheers, Kai
