'arp_filter' works by looking at the route it would use to get from src to dst, and if it would go out this particular interface where we heard the ARP it sends the response out, else it does not respond. So set your routes up right with correct preferred source addresses and arp_filter will begin to work. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
