You can do this by proxy-arping; see "man arp": -s hostname ether_addr Create an ARP entry for the host called hostname with =20 the Ether- net address ether_addr. The Ethernet address is given =20 as six hex bytes separated by colons. The entry will be permanent =20= unless the word temp is given in the command. If the word pub =20= is given, the entry will be ``published''; i.e., this system will =20= act as an ARP server, responding to requests for hostname even =20 though the host address is not its own. In this case the =20 ether_addr can be given as auto in which case the interfaces on this host =20= will be examined, and if one of them is found to occupy the =20 same subnet, its Ethernet address will be used. If the only keyword =20= is also specified, this will create a ``published (proxy =20 only)'' entry. This type of entry is created automatically if arp =20 detects that a routing table entry for hostname already exists. --=20 -Chuck
