Huii ... indeed, setting echo "1" > arp_ignore really helps. But really. Can't somebody not tell redhat, suse, debian and so To active this ? Thx.

Perhaps application of the following would get you what you want, though I haven't tested it myself (though I would be interested in reading what you find out about it since I am too lazy and currently lack the equipment to try it myself). See: http://kb.linuxvirtualserver.org/wiki/Using_arp_announce/arp_ignore_to_d isable_ARP ===QUOTE=== arp_ignore - INTEGER Define different modes for sending replies in response to received ARP requests that resolve local target IP addresses: 0 - (default): reply for any local target IP address, configured on any interface 1 - reply only if the target IP address is local address configured on the incoming interface 2 - reply only if the target IP address is local address configured on the incoming interface and both with the sender's IP address are part from same subnet on this interface 3 - do not reply for local addresses configured with scope host, only resolutions for global and link addresses are replied 4-7 - reserved 8 - do not reply for all local addresses The max value from conf/{all,interface}/arp_ignore is used when ARP request is received on the {interface} ===END QUOTE=== Another interesting one is arp_announce described on the same page.
