Hi,

what would be the right place to put a database of ethernet addresses ?
There are various reasons i need this, one is to wire the ARP table
so that machines cannot steal too easily other people's IPs,
to do autoconfiguration on PicoBSD floppies, etc. etc.

Right now (in picobsd at least) i have put records of the form

	# 01:23:45:67:89:a0	hostname

(where the '#' is part of the format) in /etc/hosts, but perhaps
there is a better standard place ?

	cheers
	luigi
