When an IP address is assigned to a bridge member interface, an arp
broadcast request to this interface bypasses bridge filter rules. But, an
arp unicast request is blocked as it should.
If you can, it might be helpful to confirm this somewhere other than with
vmware virtual nics, just to rule out the possibility of vmware's networking
doing something unexpected. If you must use vmware, maybe you could try USB
nics and have them attach to the VM via the virtual-USB instead.
I don't have access to 'real' machines right now. (Replaced all heavy iron with
virtual machines...)
