Remember that ARP (cache) entries are just to tell a host where (what
MAC) an IP address (on the same subnet) is at so that the local host
does not have to ARP for it.

Just because traffic may be coming to the correct MAC address, there is
no guarantee that any thing will be listening or responding at that MAC
address for the IP address in question.  You would actually have to bind
the IP to the MAC for any thing of value to happen out side of sniffing.
