No; the Unix kernel short-circuits any packets destined for any of its interfaces and puts them on the loopback interface. Perhaps you should be looking there? Why would you want to queue stuff that the router is sending to itself? It's not like you're bandwidth-limited, because it never goes over a communications link. It's CPU-limited, and it gets processed as soon as it "appears" on lo0. -- Resolve is what distinguishes a person who has failed from a failure.
