Would leaving arp on for the bridge really replying to arps for other 
devices on the bridge?  Would that not be a different feature, like 
proxy arp?  For some reason I think the bridge interface itself might be 
responding to an arp request, or possibly doing a reverse arp 
broadcast.  Is this happening only on a ping, or will a tcp 
communication cause this, too?
