The most frequent cause is when someone (for whatever reason) attaches
two NICs to one physical network and gives them different subnets. In
your case, I assume that pn0 is on the 209.158.48.0/x network, but for
whatever reason, pn1 is hearing arp replies for those addresses (even
though it is not on 209.158.48.0/x).

So, are pn0 and pn1 really on different networks? If they are, is
there a misconfigured machine or two on pn1 network that have the
wrong IP address? If you still can't figure it out, forward info on
the physical setup of your network, ifconfig -a output, and netstat
-rn. 

HTH.
