Annoying arp messages won't go away!!

[Paiva, Gilson de]

   Hi everybody,

   I was running a freebsd machine bridging packets on 2 interfaces and
acting as my internet router without any problem.
   Last week I had to change my IP allocation and, due ipfw2 improvements
on layer2, I decided not to route packets through this machine anymore,
but have a 3 nics bridge, then the annoying "/kernel: -- loop (x)
xxarpxx to nicx from nicy (active)" is here :) .
   The moving arps are from the internet router - attached directly to ep0
- and a ras attached to xl0 . Freebsd keeps telling me the message with
this 2 arps moving between its 3 nics.
   I understanding the arp and bridge basics very well and I think this
problem has something to do with this 2 equipaments "scanning" my
network with "arp who-has" ( detected with tcpdump ).
   I even "locked" all my 128 ips arps with arp -s and arp -s pub options
but nothing changed. I tryied even to stop messages with
net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface=0 , again no success. No
google, no man pages, nothing I could do...

   Running 4.8-stable cvsuped and made world kernel at 15 this month,
ipfw2, 3 nics with bridge on them.

   Did anyone have anything like this or do know any tip?
