Hi.
The 10.10.7.1 is the FreeBSD box with the rl0 interface that gets added to a
bridge. The 10.0.0.6 box is the other FreeBSD box. If you would like the
same tcpdumps for any other OS pinging this box i would be glad to supply.
Heres the output from the tcpdump, this carries on as long as the ping from
the freebsd box happens:

Heres the ifconfig for the box:

I think that the first thing to look at will be the tcpdump of the ARP
traffic -- if your peers are seeing '(incomplete)' as the bridging host MAC,
then it is good to check if ARP requests are received and are they replied
to.
'tcpdump -lvvnetti rl0 arp' should produce the fine listing. And the output
of 'ifconfig' and 'sysctl net.link.bridge' will be helpful too.
