Hi,
I have a server on a network which is inhabited by an Intel rack-mount
box running Win2k.  The Intel server has got two of it's NIC's 'teamed'
- the Intel redundant NIC method.  

Problem is that to the FreeBSD box, it looks like the MAC address of
that IP address keeps changing, so I get endless kernel messages like
the ones below.  You can see the swap from 3a to 3b, and can probably
guess the next in the sequence!  Yeah, back to 3a....

arp: 10.1.21.80 moved from 00:03:47:f1:b8:3b to 00:03:47:f1:b8:3a on
fxp2
arp: 10.1.21.80 moved from 00:03:47:f1:b8:3a to 00:03:47:f1:b8:3b on
fxp2

1.  Does anyone know if my fellow admin (who looks after the Intel box)
has configured incorrectly?  Or is this a symptom of all 'teamed' NIC's?
2.  If nothing can be done on the Intel box, is it possible to ignore
these messages?

Cheers,
Carl.
