I spent some more time thinking about this, and I think the deal is that
if you do this on both sides, you achieve the result where you can
crosstalk between the two networks without requiring a gateway.
It's kinda ugly, but it's basically what route add -iface is there for,
and it makes sense that if ARP is happy ARPing for these hosts, the route
code should also consider these hosts as directly connected.
