This is on FreeBSD 8.0-RC2 (sys/netinet/in.c is 1.143.2.9.2.1) If I try to set permanent arp entry with "arp -s host etheraddr" and there exists an "incomplete" entry for this host at the moment, then this "permanent" entry will expire in 20 seconds. If I set arp with "arp -S host etheraddr" - it will be really permanent. It looks like with "-s" the flag of incompleteness isn't cleared. Is this a bug or a feature? -- Eugene Perevyazko
