Hi,
there is a new version of xtraceroute out there :
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d3august/xt/
This version supports the RFC1876/DNS-lookup feature,
which will greatly improve the hosts location.
Unfortunately, the host command shipped with most
recent bind-utils-9.2.0-0.a2.2mdk does not seem to support
the -x switch that could query the LOC section of DNS.
Hence, xtraceroute will not launch complaining about your
version of host an says you must install a specific version
of "host" found at ftp://ftp.nikhef.nl/pub/network/.
Any idea of when -x will be supported in standards distribs
of host ?
