I remember re-doing my network and attempting to ping a lan ip and seeing
the request go out to the net. That was misconfiguration on my part as it
turned out.

When I ping 192.168.100.1 from my rr conencted pc,it goes to the rr internal
server,10.42.192.1. Then off to a 24.*.*.* ip,then lost. This all seems
normal to me. I notice on your tarcert it couldnt conenct to the first ip.
This may be whats making you wonder?

Now what I wonder...
Can I tracert to a legit rr internal ip? Awhile ago when I attempted to
sniff my network(without knowing I couldnt) I did manage to see the rr
internal ip'ed machine send out arp requests. Well,I'm off to check...
