A have a FreeBSD version 3.1 box with 3 network cards. In linux when doing an arp -a it distinguishes ip, hardware address and interface like this: dial-84.ocis.net (209.52.173.216) at 00:C0:05:04:16:1A [ether] on eth0 but on a FreeBSD system it doesn't seem to distinguish what interface only ip,and hardware address like this: gateway2.ocis.net (209.52.174.254) at 0:10:7b:ba:f0:61 Does freebsd seperate arp entries by interface like linux? The reason I'm asking is (i think) in linux you can have an arp entry for the same ip-address but on different interfaces like this: dial-84.ocis.net (209.52.173.216) at 00:C0:05:04:16:1A [ether] on eth0 dial-84.ocis.net (209.52.173.216) at xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [ether] on eth1 This is useful for proxy arping two networks together and making it appear as one network. (Without using natd or bridge). Can this be done with FreeBSD? Thanks ... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
