Although I don't know why this will matter because I'm sending packets destined for the IP of that specific interface (which should work in strong and weak models). I think I'll sift through the ARP processing code to see if there are points where it can drop a packet. > > You might be able to change this by tuning arp_announce/arp_ignore - But > I don't know if that changes the behaviour wrt responses to local > addresses...

I'm playing around with different combinations of anything even remotely connected to ARP and routing. Nothing's changed till now.
