Hi there, 
Since installing 2.1.5 and compiling a streamlined kernel, I'm 
repeatedly plagued with the message:
/kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 127.0.0.1
Now named is running but I can't query it with nslookup -- I don't 
really know how to interpret the results of a netstat -nr but 
ifconfig -a reports that there is a loopback interface.  I'm pretty 
confused by all this!  There should'nt be any other machines sending 
arp requests (there's no other machines on this ethernet segment -- 
it just goes to the router) -- this problem only started with my 
system rebuilt.  Is there something weird in the new (2.1.5 stable) named 
binary?

It was suggested to me that I:
>... find the broken machine that's broadcasting ARP requests for the
>loopback address, and turn it off.

I'm not clear on how to track that down -- again, this is the only 
machine on this ehternet segment.  Thanks for any help you can offer!
