Thanks a lot for fixing this.


Now I am reviewing another patch and I found that this here used to be
configurable actually by sysctls: nd6_useloopback for v6 and the v4
version from r192011 used to use useloopback; see the lines following
pointing at the 7-STABLE tree to have a tree before new-arp:

http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/netinet/if_ether.c?v=FREEBSD7#L259
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/netinet6/nd6.c?v=FREEBSD7#L1320

Not sure if we'll want to restore that behaviour or remove the
sysctls?
