Hi, 

I searched the mailing list archive to understand and find a solution
to my problem but have not been fully satisfied whith the answers I
found.  So, I take the risk to bore some of the readers...

Here's my problem:

I frequently get kernel messages like:

Sep 23 21:40:38 musashi /kernel: arplookup 193.175.175.156 failed: host is not on local network
Sep 24 12:54:03 musashi /kernel: arplookup 193.175.175.160 failed: host is not on local network

and don't understand:

a) Why the kernel tries to arplookup these hosts (i.e. why and from
   which module arplookup is conducted)

b) What to change to get rid of the messages.

Here are some additional information:

- Both, 193.175.197.x and 193.175.175.x use the same ethernetwork.
