Firstly, this doesn't  do what I want,  and secondly, this is a severe
bug. You don't want   to "disable" it   by not using the  command that
causes it, right?

Besides, I am really interested in letting FreeBSD ARP  for a host not
on the same  subnet. Letting it  ARP for hosts  in a  subnet (with the
corresponding route  add) works well. However,   using host routes, it
doesn't work. I can't believe it's plain impossible...

Cheers,
