Frame Relay - Hub and Redirect message

Have you seem these redirect messages when the hub receives packets from one spoke to another?

R5 is the hub for R1 and R2. Net is 142.20.125.0

There is a bgp peering between R1 and R2, using connected address 142.20.125.0.
There are frame-relay maps on R1 and R2 point to the opposite spoke.

R5#debug ip icmp
R5#debug ip packet detail

*Mar 1 07:08:53: IP: s=142.20.125.2 (Serial0/0), d=142.20.125.1 (Serial0/0), len 59, redirected
*Mar 1 07:08:53: TCP src=179, dst=11013, seq=4281176560, ack=3114935740, win=15776 ACK PSH
*Mar 1 07:08:53: ICMP: redirect sent to 142.20.125.2 for dest 142.20.125.1, use gw 142.20.125.1

Everything works fine. I am trying to see if these redirect message are normal behavior.
