Putting two (or more) NICs from one host on one segment is wrong, wrong! WRONG! *whew* Sorry about that. Glad you asked before you sent the classic post wondering why one NIC complains when it hears ARPs that the other NIC is supposed to be receiving. ifconfig(8) cares not if the addresses are on the same class C. In fact, to me, it is stranger that it works fine with multiple aliases where some aliases lie within the LAN of another. -- Crist J.
