Umm, I'm not seeing that fix on my 2.1 box (which is running post 2.1 stuff including fixes that came in after the fact), and I don't remember the fix going in. I just perused the commitlog file and I'm not seeing any 'arp' fix, although I'm looking at the clone route stuff. > > Anyway, the location > > where the clone routes are being killed might be a good spot to check > > for the ARP stuff. I'll look, but as you could see from my original message, I'm seeing the same problem with the regular arp as well as proxy-arp, so it's not fixed for the non proxy-arp case. > I have seen the same kind of trouble with arp, ipfw and routed. > > Basically packets would go another way that what "netstat -rna" would > make you think. > > Sometimes I could clear the trouble by zapping all arp-entries.

Unfortunately, that's not a solution given that the boxes can exist on the local ethernet and come in via PPP (portables are great fun). Nate
