BIRD 1.3.11 (ports) on FreeBSD 9.1-p7

[Markus Grundmann]

Good morning!

My name is Markus and I have an issue with the BIRD 1.3.11. Since I had
switched from Quagga 0.9x.x to BIRD 1.3.11 I have more and more trouble
in my network with OSPFv2. After some minutes or hours the ARP
resolution doesn't work and tons of messages are logged by BIRD and the
"kernel". All FreeBSD 9.1-p7 servers sending messages to their syslog
(see below).

Virtual servers are no longer reachable. What's the problem?
The same messages are generated by OSPFv3 processes.

### The server with the NFS service is running BIRD 1.3.11 (FreeBSD ports).
### Over 1000 messages will be logged.

$ dmesg | grep arpresolve | wc -l

### After a while some servers are not longer available because ARP
resolution failed.

### When I restart BIRD the ARP resolution will work again.
