Hello again! : > http://linux-ip.net/html/ether-arp.html#ether-arp-flux : : But *is* this an arp flux problem? You are quite correct; your problem isn't an ARP flux problem, but the same concept holds in your situation. [ snip ] : This doesn't seem to me to be the same thing as arp flux. Am I wrong? Different symptoms on the network and different networking situations, but the same kernel behaviour contributes to the ARP flux problem and your problem. : What's the advantage of this behaviour being the default - seems to me : that it's information disclosure that shouldn't be happening. Why : should you tell another network segment what your other interface's : IP/MAC addresses are? I'll leave this question for others to answer, others who are more knowledgeable. To me it seems intuitive, natural and correct, but perhaps I have simply been working with this behaviour for too long. -Martin -- Martin A.
