RFC1918 TROLL! lol. kidding. =)
I'm wondering if what I'm seeing in this trace route is normal provider behavior (I haven't seen this happen before now). <snip traceroute with 1918 addys>
Depends on the meaning of "normal". Check out http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2000-07/msg00394.html There are many, many other threads about this and related topics(NAT, VPNs with 1918 addys, breaking traceoute with 1918 addys, etc.) RFC1918 addys are sacred stomping ground. @Home and Adelphia(atleast in VA) use 1918 addys internally. They usually turn up between the modem and the distribution hub/headend(?). Also, poke around at http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/.
