Sometime within the last month, ifconfig has changed so that the
following rc.conf entries do not properly initialise the second (in this
case fxp0) interface.

network_interfaces="auto"
ifconfig_ti0="inet 10.10.10.221 netmask 255.255.0.0"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.10.10.222 netmask 255.255.0.0"
defaultrouter="10.10.0.1"
hostname="test.servers.nat"

there is still a sysctl knob 
# sysctl -a |grep arp
net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface: 0

that deals with multiple interfaces on the same net, so seems that this
behaviour should be allowed, whether frowned upon or not. I ran into
this this morning after brining up this test box and installing a new
world onto it (it had been sleeping for about a month when it had a
previous 4.5 STABLE world).
