Subject:   FreeBSD doesn't accept icmp: redirect messages ?

Hello !

We have an 2.2.7-RELEASE box and this beast gets flooded by our Cisco 
router with messages like:

14:37:00.964375 gw.matti.ee > vanaema.matti.ee: icmp: redirect 
jaan.egg.ee to host Torujuhe.matti.ee

My understanding is that Cisco sends usual redirect message to 
vanaema.matti.ee but this machine doesn't accept these messages and 
sends packets destined to Torujuhe.matti.ee to router no matter what 
the Cisco was told. Why? 
Sysctl -a | grep net.inet.ip shows:

net.inet.ip.portrange.lowfirst: 1023
net.inet.ip.portrange.lowlast: 600
net.inet.ip.portrange.first: 1024
net.inet.ip.portrange.last: 5000
net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst: 40000
net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast: 44999
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 0
net.inet.ip.redirect: 1
net.inet.ip.ttl: 64
net.inet.ip.rtexpire: 315
net.inet.ip.rtminexpire: 10
net.inet.ip.rtmaxcache: 128
net.inet.ip.sourceroute: 0
net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen: 50
net.inet.ip.intr_queue_drops: 0
net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute: 0
net.inet.ip.subnets_are_local: 1
net.inet.ip.fw.debug: 1
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose: 0
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit: 0

Are there something wrong or I'm mistaken in some other way ? This 
box doesn't run any routing daemon and has some static routes only.

Thanks
