At the point where the system is responding, there should be no interfaces with the given IP address and ifconfig confirms this. The IP address is not associated with any interface and should not be associated with the system either. The sequence of events is "bring up the address on one interface, try to bring it up on another alias, bring the address down". This isn't an issue of "replying to ARP out the wrong interface", it is replying to arp requests when no interfaces on the system have that IP address associated.
At no point did you *delete* the address, it's still there. # ifconfig -a -Brian - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
