Hmm, I could have thought of that myself, except that I wasn't really
expecting any traffic.

Anyway, this is what I get (with the -e option so I can track it):

12:59:56.610694 0:4:ac:e4:b3:cf 0:2:44:17:f8:da arp 60: arp who-has wantadilla.lemis.com tell 0.0.0.0
12:59:56.610731 0:2:44:17:f8:da 0:4:ac:e4:b3:cf arp 60: arp reply wantadilla.lemis.com is-at 0:2:44:17:f8:da
13:00:51.611834 0:4:ac:e4:b3:cf 0:2:44:17:f8:da ip 146: 0.0.0.0.483635503 > wantadilla.lemis.com.nfs: 104 getattr [|nfs] (DF)

This happens exactly once a minute.

Looking at arp -a, I find that the Ethernet address 0:4:ac:e4:b3:cf is
that of my machine echunga.  On that machine, I find:

rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.109.197.82 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.109.197.255
        inet6 fe80::200:21ff:feca:6ef1%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
        inet 192.109.197.137 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.109.197.137
        ether 00:00:21:ca:6e:f1 
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

About the only thing unusual there is the alias address.  There's no
dhclient running, and this only started after the upgrade.  I'm still
puzzled.
