ICMP redirect

Wed May 25 08:46:11 PDT 2005

Hello,
Lately i get a lot (really a lot) of these errors:

icmp redirect from 127.0.0.1: <my outside IP> => 127.0.0.1

I have no idea where they come from and better how to get rid of them...
Can anyone point me in a direction to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Arno
