Yep :-)

All these options can be reviewed in "man traceroute".

I come with additional magic (it's just a matter of playing with
traceroute modifiers):
traceroute -I -z 1 -q 1 mktgw1.ibllc.com
-I: for ICMP requests
-z 1: give extra time to get the host name resolution/IP
-q 1: try with one query instead 3 (which is the default) to speed up
traceroute
