I personally don't have time to look into it right now, but if you would please file a bug report on it (using `send-pr'), it will get put in the database for the next time somebody gets up the courage to examine this bit of code. If you'd care to investigate this on your own, I'd put a check in ether_output() just before it calls arpresolve() to see if the M_BCAST or M_MCAST flags are set on the mbuf, and if the destination IP address is what you expected. Then, follow the chain back to ip_output() and in_broadcastaddr() if these are wrong. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
