I just configured a 4.8-STABLE box as a router and I don't think it is working correctly. My understanding is that when a router knows a route to an ip address, it is supposed to respond to arp who-has messages with an arp reply message giving its own mac address. The fbsd router is not responding even though it has a correct route, has ip forwarding enabled and is seeing the arp who-has messages. Shouldn't it be? Thanks. -- Jim Flowers
