Yeah, that would be really helpful. As I mentioned, ping (without any such logging enabled) isn't really a diagnostic tool. It just tells you THAT a connection failed (which you already know, hence you are troubleshooting). A traceroute at least will tell you (in most cases) WHERE it fails and depending on what that host is (the blackhole IP in this case didn't come back as a DNS server when I made a quick test this morning), and that helps to determine the next possible step(s) in fixing any networking issue...
