Doesn't seem right.  On none of my 10 lpars is my next hop the same as my 
i's static address.  It's always the IP address of the router the i 
attaches to.
From my i:
NETSTAT *IFC
Internet         Network             Line      Interface
Address          Address          Description  Status 
10.10.1.194      10.10.1.0        LANLINSYS    Active 
NETSTAT *RTE
Route            Subnet           Next               Route 
Destination      Mask             Hop              Available
*DFTROUTE        *NONE            10.10.1.1          *YES 
My router address is 10.10.1.1.

2 gdsl61 (10.10.8.237) 0.260 0.296 0.312 
Tells me that it goes out through my router 10.10.1.1 and to my pc at 
10.10.8.237
and if I trace a route to a PC at another office:

Tells me it goes out through the router to our wide area thingy(gdswan), 
through our albion tower, through our avilla plant, to our Garrett plant 
to the Garrett router then to the PC.
PC DOS spells traceroute as tracert, if you want to try that from your PC.
It really looks like some killed your local dns and set it all to go 
through comcast.
