Description Eldad Zack (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-23 03:04:30 UTC 
traceroute should do destination address resolution.

That is, instead of:

#traceroute 131.243.1.10
traceroute to 131.243.1.10 (131.243.1.10), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

It should show:

#traceroute 131.243.1.10
traceroute to ee.lbl.gov (131.243.1.10), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets


Reproducible: Always
