Well the version of traceroute here actually does a BINDTODEVICE so it
will go out of the right interface.  It also binds the socket so that
it gets the right source address.

I can see your point of view that it would be nice if the kernel read
the IP headers in making its routing decision.  However, the current
behaviour has been there forever and it's unclear what we might break
by changing it.

Cheers,
