They have not. I just tried. I have two boxes with 2 interfaces each and a third for testing. Testbox 1 has 2.2 kernel, testbox 2 has 2.4 kernel. The three are connected via same switch on primary if. I ping the second if ip of testbox 2, then arp -vn and see the second ip with a mac entry of testbox 2 primary if. I ping the second if ip of testbox 1, then arp -vn and see _no_ entry for this second ip, it is in fact routed (which I would state as the expected behaviour as the second ip is from another subnet). > Both 2.0 and 2.2 answer on all interfaces for ARP requests > by default just like 2.4 does. Try it. Proven wrong. See above.
