This might have to go on a Sun-specific list, but has anyone noticed the
following behavior: A traceroute goes fine through even many hops, but
on last hop, if its a sun server, the -middle- interval shows up as a
star, on otherwise pristine connections.

Every sun machine (2.5.1, 2.6, 2.7, latest patches) I have tried over a wan does this, over the lan, they are fine. Non-sun machines don't do this (bsd, etc) that I have seen. I have tried multiple types of traceroutes through different networks and different providers.
Any clues or am I just imagining things?
