I looked through the arp code but it's beyond my comprehension right now. The other strange thing is that the kernel will stop responding to arp requests on the aliased interface... not sure why that's happening, but it keeps my alias from working at all :( (strangely enough it will work for the first few minutes, then stop.) I couldn't find any regular pattern to when the kernel decides to "switch" the hardware address used to respond to arp requests- just seems kind of random. enjoy -- Jason Garman http://web.wedgie.org/ Student, University of Maryland jgarman@wedgie.org From fortune(1): Whois: JAG145 "...
