If you feel a need to block traceroute, why don't block TTL
exeeded but host unreachable? Did you mixed up the type 3 ICMPs,
maybe? I suggest to block time-exceeded if you think you need it,
but allow destination-unreachable at least for any that can be
viewable, otherwise for the clients it takes long time to find
out that a service isn't offered (well, I believe sometimes a
connection is not an attack but a request :)).

oki,
