This problem is due to a rather contraversial change, where packets
are only accepted to addressed to the interface they are recieved
on if:
net.inet.ip.check_interface=1
This was left off in -stable, but was turned on by default in
-current 'cos some people felt it was a security hole. There was a
rather long thread about it when it was committed, and it was
discussed on bugtraq at some length. If you need to disable it, you
should be able to do:
net.inet.ip.check_interface=0
in /etc/sysctl.conf.
