I've long thought router vendors should introduce a configuration option to specify the IP address from which ICMP errors are emitted rather than taking the interface address from which the packet causing the error was received.
Concur. An 'ip(v6)? icmp source-interface loop0' sure beats running 'ip unnumbered loop0' everywhere. ;)
Why do you think it will be better?, can you explain? So far I can only think in a more difficult troubleshooting if this idea/feature gets spread. I guess based in the scenario where the output interface can not reach Internet sounds as a practical solution however for sure the output interface is reachable inside the provider network.
