Since I switched to an aliassed IP on my outbound NIC I get:

Aug  5 03:00:02 nisser /kernel: arp: 00:90:6d:e4:30:00 attempts to modify
perman
ent entry for 194.134.128.1 on ep1

Aug  5 03:02:34 nisser last message repeated 137 times

Aug  5 03:22:34 nisser last message repeated 691 times
Aug  5 03:32:35 nisser last message repeated 657 times
...

which I would like to not get.

Relevant details:

gateway_enable="YES"
network_interfaces="ep0 ep1 lo0"
#network_interfaces="ep0 le0 lo0"
ifconfig_ep0="inet 10.0.0.55 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_ep1="inet 212.187.0.39 netmask 255.255.248.0"
ifconfig_ep1_alias0="inet 194.134.130.170 194.134.128.1 netmask 255.255.252.0"


which results in:

it looks like the stack tries to set up two permanent addresses for
the same NIC even though it should know better.
