When you say "middlebox" you're opening up the set that includes NATs,
and that means any message that isn't to the same address/port pair
isn't likely traverse the same path.

So *at best* this might be able to contact the first middlebox it
encounters, but how useful would that be with that limitation?

(I'm also ignoring the fact that most middleboxes don't want to admit
they exist, so this might be only providing another way for them to
ignore you)
