This has been talked about before, although I'm not sure where.
To counter this, IPFilter can enforce a "minimum ttl" for all packets
transitting it. This is not yet available on a per-rule basis, rather
you have to decide something like "I expect all packets to have a ttl
of at least 4 to reach any publicly accessible systems". I don't know
whether it came up on bugtraq or elsewhere, but the idea dates back to
at least December 2000.

mmm, be nice if you could identify what sort of buggy firewall they are
running that returns untranslated addresses in the ICMP error message :)
God knows I've had enough trouble keeping that right!
