I set this in sysctl.conf now and did a reboot..
net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface = 0

and it works like expected.. no more messages of that kind... 
Thank you... :)
Say.. this this flag is probably aware of run-time changes, too, 
hmm? so a  "sysctl net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface=0" 
would have turned it off without reboot as well, right?


How can an arp reply be received by the wrong interface, though? 
Isn't the request broadcast and the reply MAC addressed?

I'm amazed - problem solved in less than 30 mins..
