Hummm, I am not sure, the one enabled with the option BRIDGE in the
kernel (4.10 RELENG), so I guess the first on. Of course not netgraph.

And of course i cannot find anymore syslog message :(

The situtation was:

- fxp1: one interface with no IP, NOARP connected to my inside lan,
  bridge to fxp0

- fxp0: one interface with no IP, NOARP connected to my outside lan,
  bridge to fxp1

- xl0: one interface with IP connected to my inside lan.

At random times, fxp1 would respond to ARP requests about the IP of
xl0.
