Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Does FreeBSD honour the 'permanent' flag of ARP's/IP addresses? Recently I've locked down some ARP's on my FreeBSD box, then I changed the network card in my PC... e.g. arp -S 192.168.100.1 00:c0:23:43:f4:02 My PC with it's new network card would work 'most' the time - and I'd see kernel errors about 'arp moved from address xx.xx.xx.xx to yy.yy.yy.yy' etc. - Then I realised I'd made the ARP permanent on the FreeBSD box - so surely it should have ignored my PC (with it's new network card) completely?
