I have a need to not respond to arps where the protocol address of the
sender is the same as the target, which is the case when Windows clients
try to ARP for the manually-configured address it is about to use. If
it gets a response, it disables the interface. I currently respond
because of a global arp entry ("arp ... -s ... netmask 0.0.0.0 pub"),
which is required for my application.
I want to receive and respond to all other ARPs (e.g., for routers).
I cannot change the Windows clients.
It does not appear to me this can be done with iptables or arptables
(comparisons between two fields in the packet). Any suggestions before
I start hacking on kernel code?
Thanks,
Chris Schanzle
[yes, the nospam *does* go to me. :-]
