trace request

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a windows web servers, seperated from the internet, by a bunch of
internal networks.

Internet --- network1---network2---network3---windows ---- internet
connection2

Basically what i want to know is, the path the ASP the request takes BACK to
the client.
Obviously it would be the same path it came in through, but my windows
servers network, also has anothet internet connection. I want to make sure
its not going out through that.

Can I find out the IP addresses of the routers through wich the request
passes, like a backward trace from server to client?



Thanx

no. tracert works by special protocol which tracks this. http does not track
routers. also proxy servers hide this info.

networks are fluid, all packets travel individual paths. except in simple
cases, all you packets will not follow the same path. in fact they generally
do not even arrive in order. all a connection establishes is the endpoints,
not the intervening hops.
