Subject:   disabling arp replies -- how?

This is a question for the experts.

Using 3.4-STABLE from a couple of weeks ago.

Is there any way to disable arp replies?  Such that an incoming arp
request looking for our IP address would be ignored by us?

I do want to keep outgoing arp active, so we can still send arp requests
when we need to find some other host's MAC address, and hear the
replies.

BTW, 'ifconfig de0 -arp' results in the interface appearing as NOARP,
but arp still seems to happen normally.  I wonder if it's a bug.

Rahul
