I would like to set things up so that they don't have to change their configurations to access the net. So, I'm assuming I'll need to, upon an arp request for any given IP address, ifconfig that IP as an alias. I would run nat with -dynamic, so that the new ethernet alias would automatically be included in the table. So, my question is, how do I go about detecting the arp request, and then adding the neccessary alias? Or, is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?
