This looks like it's working; thanks a bunch!  Whoda'thunk you could use 
something like proxy arp to un-break a broken network?  It appears as 
though the above sysctl keeps resetting itself to 0 with *any* network 
interface changes.  And from what I can see, that's as by design?  Is 
there any way to get it to stay 1?  The problem is that sysctl does its 
think during boot-up, before the interfaces and routing are all set in 
/etc/rc.conf.  So I have to come back in and manually set it to 1.  I 
suppose I can write an RC script to do that for me, but it's still 
suboptimal.

Any guidance or suggestions on that one?

Thanks again!
