Those logical interfaces represent just two IP addresses configured on a
single interface in the same subnet.  For the purposes of traceroute,
they're actually formally equivalent.  There's no difference in the way
the system operates when it says that it's "using" one interface versus
another.

There's nothing wrong here that I can see.  Packets going "out" :1 are
the same as those going out :2.

Is it source address selection you're worried about?  If so, then your
application should pick the address it wants, if it has some sort of
preference, by using bind().  Or, if the application cannot be convinced
to choose one, then you could use the "deprecated" flag to exclude a
source address you don't want to use.  (It'd be nice if "preferred"
worked here, but that's apparently only for IPv6.  *sigh*)

I'm afraid I still don't see any sort of problem documented here.

Traceroute itself can't possibly be the actual application in use.  It's
really not that useful for doing real work.  There must be some other
application involved.

So what is that application?  And what actual problems are you seeing?
Do you have network traces showing a problem?  Or error messages of some
sort?

If this is just a complaint about the diagnostic output from traceroute,
then it sounds like a very low priority nit, and possibly not even that.
