The information you've provided strongly suggests either problems with the netmasks being used, or a routing loop, or some combination of both.
I have checked netmasks and they are all on the same network. There should not be any routing involved in the communication between these hosts.

OK.  Care to show a "tcpdump -ntv icmp" illustrating the problem...?  :-)
Nope :-)

I dug a little deeper into this. It seems like my problems are far more extensive than I first expected.

I did not mention earlier that all if's are vlan-based sub-intefaces. It seems that if I move admin-if's on my routers to a different physical if than the one with the default route, all weird time-exeed/redir are gone and all traffic on my Nagios-machine are OK.

It seems allmost as if my routers can not hold apart inbound traffic destined to different sub-if's on one physical if. Can this be it? I have checked my topology from all around now and I can not find any routing loops.

For example: Router1 has it's default route connected to em0.10. With admin-net on em0.20 I get my icmp-floods. Moving admin-net to em1.20 makes the icmp-floods go away.

A possible bug in if_vlan?
