ex + firewall ... 'silently ignored' is the norm no? ;(

here's a fav of mine. Loopback filters drop traceroute THROUGH the
device (unless you permit all traceroute of course) because, you know..
separating the 'control plane' traffic from the 'data plane' traffic is
something we all figured out 10 years ago. :(

(to be fair, this 'bug' is fixed in 11.X... 'please load this daily code
