What it means is that the ARP code got a message for one of these addresses, and looked it up in the routing table; the routing table handed the ARP code a route which points to another host, rather than to an ARP record. Without knowing what your environment is, I can't debug this problem. What's in your routing table? What version of FreeBSD are you running? Are you running a routing process (rdisc, routed, gated, or something else)? How are your interfaces configured? >> writing to routing socket: File exists >> writing to routing socket: File exists >> writing to routing socket: File exists These messages mean that the ARP entries already exist. >> cannot intuit interface index and type for sac3 >> cannot intuit interface index and type for sac4 >> cannot intuit interface index and type for sac5 >> cannot intuit interface index and type for sac6 These messages mean that the addresses are not part of any configured Ethernet, so attempting to apply ARP to them is invalid. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
