	connected socket can benefit from dst cached in socket
but not if SO_DONTROUTE is set. If we do not want to send packets
via gateway this -l 1 should help but I don't see IP_TTL setsockopt
in your first example with connect() to 127.0.0.1.

	Also, may be there can be another default, if -l is used to
specify TTL then SO_DONTROUTE should not be set. I.e. we should
avoid SO_DONTROUTE, if possible.
