I get these messages in the log, these are the mac addresses for NICs
all on my network, my switch and destination server:

esmtp.webtent.net kernel log messages:
> arp: 208.38.145.35 moved from 00:10:e0:01:86:d9 to 00:b0:64:4d:0b:70 on em0
> arp: 208.38.145.42 moved from 00:10:e0:01:86:d9 to 00:b0:64:4d:0b:70 on em0
> arp: 208.38.145.40 moved from 00:b0:64:4d:0b:70 to 00:10:e0:01:b1:7a on em0
> arp: 208.38.145.40 moved from 00:10:e0:01:b1:7a to 00:b0:64:4d:0b:70 on em0

I found this note, is this the proper way to disable these messages in
my FreeBSD 5.4 server?
