Ok, I asked, and the consensus seems to be that those broadcasts should not get forwarded, as there could be several IP forwarders on the network, and they'd all forward the same broadcast if that were the default. You can slightly change your kernel to not assign the M_BCAST flag on ethernet level for the ethernet broadcast mac address, to work around your specific setup, if you like. If you need help for that patch, let me know. Daniel
