Subject: Re: multicast: bug or "feature"

I don't know about a new knob, but it's the same notion
as rp_filter, so why not use rpf for RTN_LOCAL types?
Ie, allow RTN_LOCAL and RTN_UNICAST at the top, but
check rpf if the devs aren't equal or RTN_LOCAL....

It seems like not a good thing to rely on in the first place, though;
usually receiving things from yourself is a bad thing. :-)
