Who was it that said  "Always check the RFCs first...?"

Sorry for the last note!

If the network interfaces on which the request was received and
through which the route to the target passes are the same, the
gateway must not reply.  In this case, either the target host is on
the same physical network as the gateway (and thus the host should
reply for itself), or this gateway is not on the most direct path to
the desired network, i.e., there is another gateway on the same
physical network that is on a more direct path and the other gateway
should respond.
