I don't have a test box handy I can try it on, but does it still exhibit that behavior if you put a 'no ip directed-broadcast' in the interface config of the 10.0.0.5 interface? By default it's on, so it takes anything for the network or broadcast Layer 3 addresses and spits them out

No, I think he's asking why the router with address 10.0.0.5 responds to pings that have a destination IP of 10.0.0.4. The echo request is targeted at a network address, not at the router. I've also observed this behavior (more than ICMP though - I have a router responding to SNMP and being
