netstat output changes in 8.0?

Before 8.0-RELEASE, if I ran netstat -rn, it listed a separate route for
each host on the network, along with its MAC address. For example ...
172.20.172.17 00:02:b3:2f:64:6a UHLW 1 105712 1500
vlan172 595
172.20.172.20 00:1e:c9:bb:7c:a9 UHLW 1 1002 1500
vlan172 598
172.20.172.22 00:14:5e:16:bb:b6 UHLW 1 107 1500
vlan172 491
This behavior seems to have changed in 8.0, where now only the
locally-assigned IP addresses and related CIDRs are displayed.
Is there any way to get this behavior back, perhaps with a new flag that I
am not able to find? Or some sysctl? I have a script that was relying on
each host's "expire" flag in the routing table to determine when the MAC
address first appeared on the network according to ARP.
