Johnny,

I don't know if they still do it but older sparc machines would force the same 
mac address on all nics in the machine. There is an OBP variable that will undo 
this feature and allow the router to pass the ICMP response. From Sun's OBP 
command reference:

local-mac-address?  false (default)  If true , network devices use their own 
MAC addresses. 

This drove me nuts years ago trying to set up a load balancer from cisco,
