Like I showed in my > earlier mail, the problem only happens due to arp broadcasts. Turning it off for ARP broadcasts would defeat the purpose of the message, which is to alert the user to a broken network layout, or someone attempting to steal your traffic. I'd much rather you fix your network layout (e.g. by putting the RFC1918 network on a seperate VLAN on the switch) rather than trying to change FreeBSD.
