	    Hosts shouldn't be forwarding packets (or sending redirects)
    anyway. It is a complete bug that the LISP machine are even presuming
    to do either.

I agree there is a bug with broadcast packets.  But... if a non-gateway
host receives a non-broadcast packet that is not for it, why shouldn't
it BOTH forward it and send a redirect?  How is the sender to know that
it is sending packets to the wrong place?

P.s., it looks like your mail sending program didn't tack on
@proteon.com to the bug-cgw CC recipient.
