Got a very strange routing problem. Had a fault come in that a voice server was inreachable (10.102.6.2). A traceroute seemed to see 10.102.254.17 as the second hop and all subsequent hops as well! This address is the exit interface of a 3845 router (first hop was the WAN address of this router). 10.102.0.0/16 is forwarded to a firewall on the directly connected subnet 10.102.254.0/28.
Funny thing is that trace to the IP address 10.102.6.3 routes ok and tracing to 10.102.6.2 on the 3845 gives it's own ip address as the first hop!
Very odd and am currently suspecting an IOS fault. Change control is a nightmare so am exhausting all other options first.
