Subject:   IP address caching bug?

It seems that an interface configured with an address, which is then
deleted, and then set to a different address on the same network, the
machine continues to use the original address although all evidence of it
is gone.

examples.

ifconfig fxp0 207.252.1.31 netmask 255.255.255.0

ping something,and the .31 address is sent out.

ifconfig fxp0 delete
ifconfig ftp0 207.252.1.60 netmask 255.255.255.0

ping something, and the .31 address is still sent!

something is cached somewhere, because ifconfig and route show the correct
entries.
