In colo or datacenter environments ISP's and Telco's are not too eager about gratuitous ARPs, as they can be a sign of hacking activities (trying to intercept traffic to neighboring hosts or network devices). At any rate, the em-driver should broadcast the same way as bge or any of the others. I'll try to capture some ARP traffic on a em interface and see if it looks ok.
What would be the best way to add an alias IP without other funny things in the OS being triggered? Just do 'ifconfig em1 (aliasip) netmask (mask) bcast [bcat) alias' ?
