Good point. I was assuming he was trying to actually pass the traffic, but yeah, that's broadcast traffic alright. So you are probably correct, he just wants to clear up the logs. Unless he has some weird bridge & vpn setup going on (like me, DECNet in an IP world sucks), and actually needs to be sending that broadcast traffic somewhere. But I would highly doubt it, I'm pretty sure I'm the first and last person to be masochistic enough to even attempt that.
