This indicates that your routing table is screwed up.  What it means
is that the ARP code got a message for one of these addresses, and
looked it up in the routing table; the routing table handed the ARP
code a route which points to another host, rather than to an ARP
record.

Without knowing what your environment is, I can't debug this problem.
What's in your routing table?  What version of FreeBSD are you
running?  Are you running a routing process (rdisc, routed, gated, or
something else)?  How are your interfaces configured?

>> writing to routing socket: File exists
>> writing to routing socket: File exists
>> writing to routing socket: File exists

These messages mean that the ARP entries already exist.

>> cannot intuit interface index and type for sac3
>> cannot intuit interface index and type for sac4
>> cannot intuit interface index and type for sac5
>> cannot intuit interface index and type for sac6

These messages mean that the addresses are not part of any configured
Ethernet, so attempting to apply ARP to them is invalid.
