Banging my head off my desk on this one

OK - I have a 6H1 SP node. I am trying to talk with a mail server.

f01n305_en1:/ >ping -drRv 172.30.130.41
PING 172.30.130.41: (172.30.130.41): 56 data bytes
0821-069 ping: sendto: Cannot reach the destination network.
ping: wrote 172.30.130.41 64 chars, ret=-1
0821-069 ping: sendto: Cannot reach the destination network.
ping: wrote 172.30.130.41 64 chars, ret=-1
0821-069 ping: sendto: Cannot reach the destination network.
ping: wrote 172.30.130.41 64 chars, ret=-1

So, I try traceroute:

f01n305_en1:/ >traceroute -v 172.30.130.41
trying to get source for 172.30.130.41
source should be 192.168.56.181
traceroute to 172.30.130.41 (172.30.130.41) from 192.168.56.181

That no workey either. Now - see this:

f01n305_en1:/ >telnet 172.30.130.41 25
Trying...
Connected to 172.30.130.41.
Escape character is '^]'.

quit
221 glsmtp01.chi.bcbsil.com SMTP Service closing transmission channel
Connection closed.

This seems to me to be a firewall issue. I think I have resolved that. My
question though - how can I trace the route to the address, because I cna
clearly get to it. I need to know the exact route because I have another
server on the same network that CANNOT get to the server in any way at all.

Does anyone know how I might be able to get the route to the server ? How
is the telnet getting out ? What route ? There are multiple NICS on this
box.

Thanks, Bill.
