     SUN should not be able to send ARP broadcasts.

And, I will not be able to add static ARP entries in all the machines
in the same subnet for access control reasons.

Also, even if I null-route all other addresses, ARP broadcasts will
reach the other machines. ARP broadcast when I plumb an IP address on
my solaris machine do reach the other solaris machines on the same
subnet (even when I have null-routing for this subnet).
