Maybe take a look at:
sysctl -a | grep icmp
net.inet.icmp.maskrepl: 0
net.inet.icmp.icmplim: 200
net.inet.icmp.drop_redirect: 0
net.inet.icmp.log_redirect: 0
net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho: 0

But I don't understand what BIND has to do with icmp redirects. And
because the arplookup doesn't work it looks like something else on your
network is not configured right. Maybe you know this, but to be sure:
arp lookups don't have anything to do with dns lookups. Arp lookups are to
find the ethernet address of the host with an ip address. So, in your case
10.2.0.1 is not answering the request for its ethernet address.
