I know this is an oldish msg but I just wanted to add in my 2 cents... it IS actually possible to fake a traceroute path. The IPs up to the point that it enters the "evil" network will be accurate, but after that they can return any IP/hostname they wish. I know some spammers have used this trick to make it appear they're hosted in a different country and generally make it difficult for people to track them down.
