Having read the thread about the proxy arp problem with interest, I
now have a problem...
I had the proxy arp problem (the previous entry not being deleted
upon disconnection) some time ago, so as my 16 modems were
using kernel based pppd and dynamically allocating IP addresses
I created an arp file that I ran through at boot time (it was 2.0.5R
and didn't accept the -f option in arp so I fixed that.)
Now I seem to have a problem that arp stops publishing entries in 2.1.0R
(it loses the pub flag) or it creates another proxy entry with
{incomplete} which causes quite a number of problems.
Is there a way to TOTALLY disable proxy arp (at least until the bug
is fixed !!!) so that this problem wont occur. Obviously proxy arp is
infinately favorouble to static arps but as they seem to be
(slightly) broken at the moment this seems to be the way to go.
Cheers
Phil
