[Dshield] Odd traceroute, I *think* I know what's going on, but not sure.

New thought on the subject.

Could this be someone thinking it's a good idea?  I know that on most of my machines I have a hosts files with a lot of bad servers mapping to 127.0.0.1 so that nothing can get to doubleclick.net for example.

Is it possible that someone thought they could do something similar to a DNS?  Obviously this is bass-ackwards, not going to do the same thing at all.

Just a crazy thought.
