    Unfortunatly with -arp parameter the router won't reply to ARP
    request about his address so you need to manually add ARP record
    about the router to each host's ARP table or you can try Ruslan
    Ermilov's patch (posted in freebsd security list a couple days
    ago) which solve this problem.
