I see the point, but it bites sufficiently often that I don't understand why there is no interesting in improving this behaviour.
I have several hosts with multiple or dual-ported ethernet cards configured to different addresses on the same subnet. With both interfaces up, it's impossible to apply anti-martian rules to the interfaces, since it's hard to predict which card will answer an ARP request.
Is it really so unreasonable to expect multiple interfaces on the same subnet to act independantly?
