No love with a /31 mask & default bcast addr. Perhaps ARP reqs are failing to
the subnet bcast address, didn't check. To fix, specify an all ones broadcast.
Tested this against 6.0-Release & a Juniper box that was handy.
As always, YMMV. Oliver has a point though, why not just use a /30 & save
yourself the grief?
