At any rate, the em-driver should broadcast the same way as bge or any of the others. I'll try to capture some ARP traffic on a em interface and see if it looks ok. What would be the best way to add an alias IP without other funny things in the OS being triggered? Just do 'ifconfig em1 (aliasip) netmask (mask) bcast [bcat) alias' ? Regards Rutger
