    Hmm...I haven't tried that yet. Unfortunately I'm not in close
    proximity to the system in question at the moment, so it'll be a few
    hours (evening, San Francisco time) until I can try this. I'll test and
    report back.

    Many thanks!

    PS. Food for thought: Should bridge devices have IFF_MULTICAST set?
    Mine doesn't.

    hornet# ifconfig bridge0
    bridge0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
            inet (foo) netmask 0xffffff00
            inet6 (bar) prefixlen 64
            ether ac:de:48:cd:e2:32
