I've got no poblem:
box1:
ifconfig em0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255
route add -net 10.0.0.2/32 -iface em0 -clonin

That's not a point-to-point link. It's a broadcast network
that happens to have only two nodes.
Just make your addresses /30 instead of /31.

A /31 is not a point-to-point link.
see RFC 3021
A /31 is a net
A /31 is not a point-to-point link. A /32 is. A /31 is a network
with nothing
but a loopback and broadcast address. You have to go to a /30 to
have a block
of addresses that is useful or configure a point-to-point link where
you specify
the address at each end of the link.

/31 is common practice today. You don't need broadcast on a point-to-point link.
The only broadcast you need is ARP and that's on layer 2.

As someone else mentioned even if you did a /31, those addresses aren't

That's not a /31, it's the middle two addresses of a /30 (as the end of your
message correctly surmised). Her
