Arps when bridged.

[Per Engelbrecht]

Hi Rickard
This is more of 'net' problem than 'ipfw' but anyway, don't disable
'arp'.When sending a piece of your log, please also include the (in this case)
'ifconfig' and 'sysctl.conf' !
I could be wrong, but it seems more likely that you're having a loop.
Read 'man bridge(4)' the last paragraph above the 'examples' section.

If your bridging from a performance point of view, then have a look at
'ngctl' aswell http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=98
Only downfall is when it's used in conjunktion with HP Procurve
switches -they don't like the idea "two identical" mac-addresses!
