I pretty much agree with Garrett on this one. Loopback is a special critter; it has all sorts of requirements, like not ARP'ing for addresses configured on it (otherwise FreeBSD is not usable for DSR, which I think it currently is not), etc.. It looks to me that this should be handled some place other than ip_output(). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
