I am running small OSPF network on my OpenBSD routers for client traffic management with trivial "security" policy - static arp entries for single computer which is connected to router. The problem is redistribution of those static arp entries over OSPF network like /32 route.
For example, if I add static arp entry on BOX A like the following:
box a# arp -s 195.195.195.1 00:00:00:00:00:FF
.. and thanks to OSPF, automatically I get route on BOX B like the following:
box b# netstat -rn
195.195.195.1/32 195.195.1.1 UG2 0 0 - fxp0
How to avoid this? Would love to get rid of those "P2P routes".
=====
Platform OpenBSD 4.2 with ospfd (base).
# cat /etc/ospfd.conf
router-id 195.13.171.241
redistribute connected set { metric 1 type 1 }
redistribute static set { metric 2 type 1 }
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface fxp0
}

hm, this more or less works as designed.
If a point to point connection (ppp) comes up you need this to happen.
