This recalls me an old behavior from Microsoft products I was using 
to detect Internet rogue backdoors on my company's network.

When a windows is multi-homed, it sends packets towards broadcast @IP 
of each of its addresses to fill his computer browser tables.
Here I am talking about this behavior:
- Internal @IP -> Internal NIC -> Internal @IP broadcast
- Internal @IP -> Internal NIC -> External @IP broadcast
- External @IP -> External NIC -> Internal @IP broadcast
- External @IP -> External NIC -> External @IP broadcast

So you can imagine how this was useful. I was routing internal 
networks on Internet towards a probe that was also receiving Intranet 
routers anti-spoofing realtime logs.
When the probe was receiving a packet from outside targetting an 
internal @IP broadcast, I was correlating with antispoof logs of 
packets coming from an @IP compatible with this external broadcast 
towards the broadcast of the source @IP of the packet received from 
the outside and gotcha.

I dont know if Windoze keeps behavior like this.
Possibly this is related?
