Not always, he could be behind a NAT or Bridge and that would then be his route in some/most cases (all if its a NAT). Best would be to traceroute and nmap or passiveos scan each of the first few links till you turn up a positive or just ask the network connectivity person. You may have to anyways to get the authorization and maybe public strings to get mrtg working (because not all strings are remotely obtainable, least in a Perfect World).
