In the last episode a misconfiguration at gtei.net resulted in unexpected leases and questions about how to lease addresses in the (at that time unknown) netblk. Since then GTE finally correctly mapped the dsl adapter it provided into their switch. Now it assigns a proper set of gateway and router addresses at the bottom of a /27. That's the good part. The bad part is that it doesn't really route properly to things at my end (also in the /27) other than for thse two machines. It half heartedly arps for the other addresses in my network; it will only arp if either the internal machine sent a packet across it recently or an external box pings the address. It's very weird, the tech guy I spoke to claims to have heard something about it, it sounds like a stupid problem, I don't like having to run a ping -i 60 to the outside on those other boxes to keep their arper running, (overlong sentences can be troublesome), would love to find a solution (to both problems) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
