Greetings,
You need a seperate routing table. Try using Xen
(http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/), or there's a patch
floating around for FreeBSD4.9.

Lemme see if I parsed your question correctly:
* box.A.nic.1 --cable--> box.A.nic.2
Is that what you're talking about? Sure. Use a crossover cable,
assign each interface a different IP on the same subnet (eg 10.0.0.1
and 10.0.0.2) and ping from one to the other:
I don't believe this will do what's wanted - the packets will not actually
go thru the NICs, as the OS is smart enough to realize that the dest is
internal. With a crossover cable (not required with gigabit nics) you
can't tell, so if you try it use a switch and look at the lights.
