Well, I was only ever expecting "ping" to send out 1 packet,
not 1 per interface, so that there were actually *2* broadcast
packets sent out (one from each NIC) is what I'd consider
anomalous... even if it is 'normal' for Solaris.

Whilst it may kind of make sense for "ping broadcast_address",
if I do "ping -i interface broadcast_address" I still get
duplication of packets! I'm used to ping being a very simple
program that I understand which sends out a single packet...

If the application can't control this...???
