FreeBSD guriandgura 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #1: Thu Dec 18 17:53:41 JST 2008     koie at guriandgura:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GURIANDGURA  amd64
>Description:
I built FreeBSD-current at 2008-12-18, and boot it.

Some machine in my network cannot connect a DNS server...
The finding is my FreeBSD machine responds to ARP request for a 3rd machine with a wrong ARP response like this:

6:50:26.320648 00:1b:78:9a:47:db > Broadcast, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: arp who-has 10.1.100.1 tell 10.1.6.59
16:50:26.320784 00:e0:81:74:ef:e4 > 00:1b:78:9a:47:db, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 60: arp reply 10.1.100.1 is-at 00:1b:78:9a:47:db
16:50:26.320851 00:30:48:99:64:8c > 00:1b:78:9a:47:db, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 60: arp reply 10.1.100.1 is-at 00:30:48:99:64:8c
# 00:1b:78:9a:47:db is a requester (10.1.6.59).
# 00:e0:81:74:ef:e4 is my machine (10.1.3.67).
# 00:30:48:99:64:8c is a real responder (10.1.100.1).

line 1 is ARP request.
line 2 is ARP response by my machine with wrong.
line 3 is ARP correct response.

note: bridging and proxyall are not specified on my machine.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I don't know. (but, a bug may be in r186119).

Now, to suppress the wrong behavior,
