Hi Group

Been working on a  pix and have come across a strange issue.

Have ICMP allowed via the pix, but when a trace route is passed over it, all
host names after the pix are replaced with the final address and name.

So if the destination is 5 hops behind a pix and is called mail1, then on
your trace route you see all the correct entry's up to the PIX but after it
where you would expect to see entry's for each of the five hops you see
duplicate lines with the name mail1.

I take it that this is the PIX hiding the networks behind it and doing
something similar to the fixup that it does to such things as SMTP.

Have I got this right and is there some documentation from CISCO as to this
type of operation.

Thanks for your time and help

Andrew
