Not directly related to this but I wanted to discuss this time ago. Now that we have xt_CLUSTER I think that we can deprecate ipt_CLUSTERIP. With regards to this issue, it seems arptables only support EUI-48 (6 bytes) for ethernet addresses, so xt_CLUSTER would inherit the same problem but the point would be to fix arptables (not sure if possible now without breaking ABI or adding some versioning like iptables). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
