[c-nsp] VRF & Hairpin Routing?

Hi,

Is there anyway one can use a VRF to hairpin route some traffic in and out
of a router on fast ethernet interfaces?

I have got what I believe a good config, but IOS doesn't like to see a
packet from itself going to itself?

Here is important snippits of my config


ip vrf Customers
 rd 1:1
!
ip cef

interface FastEthernet0/0.11
 encapsulation dot1Q 11
 ip vrf forwarding Customers
 ip address 10.10.1.2 255.255.255.0
 no snmp trap link-status
!

interface FastEthernet0/1.10
 encapsulation dot1Q 10
 ip address 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
 no snmp trap link-status
!
interface FastEthernet0/1.12
 encapsulation dot1Q 12
 ip vrf forwarding Customers
 ip address 10.12.1.1 255.255.255.0
 no snmp trap link-status
!

ip route vrf Customers 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.1.1



Vlans 10 & 11 are connected together in an upstream switch  via a crossover
cable.


I get these error messages on debug arp;


1d00h: IP ARP: sent req src 10.10.1.1 0003.fdcb.ec06,
                 dst 10.10.1.2 0000.0000.0000 FastEthernet0/1.10

1d00h: IP ARP req filtered src 10.10.1.1 0003.fdcb.ec06, dst 10.10.1.2
0000.0000.0000 it's our address



Any ideas?


Sean
