Hi all, I did not read the beginning of this thread, and I don't know if this has been said before, so forgive me if it's irrelevant: I highly suggest you use arpwatch. It's a daemon that monitors MAC/IP on a network, and can notify the administrator when something changes. If you want to force the MAC for an IP, use "arp -f /etc/ethers" (man arp). Iptables does the same thing with MAC matching, but using arp with a fixed table is "the proper thing to do" (tm). I hope this helps.
