I added record route to "ping" a few months ago at Rutgers, with some more
hackery by Ron Natalie to make for a cisco-style mode.  When both are used you
can throw a bijizillion ICMP Echo packets real quickly at a host and see what
routes, and how many of each, the packets are taking.  I can mail you all the
applicable stuff if you'd like.  I'd also include some kernel mods to make
4.3BSD systems do the right thing with ICMP Echo packets w/options.
