Ok... more data.  It is definitely a FreeBSD problem with dual fxp
NICs.

Evidence:

I swapped the cables and IP numbers for fxp1 and fxp0.  Now, fxp1
works and fxp0 doesn't.  That is, the interface I assign to
192.168.100.2 doesn't work, but the one assinged 192.168.200.64 works
fine.  The order in which they are assigned doesn't matter.

Is there some magic to the 192.168.100.2 address?
