Maybe I'm not quite understanding this, but some sites are using a
Haloscan.Com for trackback which does appear to require using a special
trackback ping because the trackback services is not on the same server
as the web site.

For example the trackback for this URL:

http://lorenc.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_lorenc_archive.html#110729687250134571

Is actually this:
