When you have a static route, and the firewall thinks it can tell you
a better route to use for packets to that destination IP in the
future, it'll send your client machine an ICMP redirect pointing the
machine to what it thinks is the more direct route.  In this case,
since the route points to where the packet was sent in the first
place, it's a no-change ICMP redirect.  Ideally it shouldn't send one
at all.

Annoying since it's unnecessary, but it won't hurt anything.
