Thanks to Steve Copper and Olle Eriksson.
It would appear that there is indeed a problem, which should be fixed in
PK3...
I've just downloaded the documentation for PK3 which states:
Patch 718.00
OSF520-426
Patch: Fix for traceroute command
State: New
This patch corrects a problem where traceroute sometimes failed to
provide responses and finish a trace when the destination host name
was given on the command line.
Cheers,
Rob

Subject: traceroute broken on 5.1A ?
Hi managers,
Whilst digging into a network issue, I've noticed that traceroute appears
to be broken on our 5.1A (pk1 and pk2) machines.
If I do a traceroute on one of my wan sites, by IP address, I get a
result, however doing the same thing by name fails:
gs60 # traceroute 192.9.1.120
traceroute to fel34rt001.lynx.co.uk (192.9.1.120): 1-30 hops, 38 byte

I originally thought that it might be a DNS issue somewhere, however,
running traceroute on the name on Tru64 4.0E and various Linux versions
works fine...

Anybody else seen anything like this ?
