trace route problem

[Dhotre, Shekhar]

Hi managers ,
  I am doing trace route from one of our production box to netbackup server
,because it is taking 30hours to backup 300GB of data .I have fiber optic
drives and EMC`s latest clarion4700 fiber attached disk .so I started
looking at network. 
My hostname idsmajor is on 36.x subnet and Netbackup master server is also
on 36.x subnet .
both servers got multiple interfaces .I am not able to find why host
idsmajor  is not reaching to netbackup master in one hop  ? 
also how does trace route and telnet handles routing ? one of our admin is
arguing on telnet and trace route : when you do telnet it reaches to
particular interface immediately and when you do trace route you get
multiple interfaces found message .


this routing table on source box .
                                                                         
Routing Table:

when i do trace route from host idsmajor to neon i get following :

	Hmmm, ok -- I used "method" in a vague way.
What is the difference here?

idsmajor:root:/>idsmajor:root:/>traceroute neon
traceroute: Warning: ckecksums disabled
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 192.168.1.11 @

	Why does telnet not say "Multiple interfaces 
found; using 192.168.1.11 @ hme1"?  That's what I 
meant by 'method' -- the network sockets code in
the telnet binary is probably written to check the
route table before making an open.  

	We should try to understand how netbackup
makes its connections.  If it's coming from netback,
then there might be problems with multiple interfaces
on that end as well.

	ufsdump also takes 40 - 50 hours, so maybe 
the problem is with packets coming to the box from
other networks, where file servers are mounted?
