In your case, I assume that pn0 is on the 209.158.48.0/x network, but for whatever reason, pn1 is hearing arp replies for those addresses (even though it is not on 209.158.48.0/x). So, are pn0 and pn1 really on different networks? If they are, is there a misconfigured machine or two on pn1 network that have the wrong IP address? If you still can't figure it out, forward info on the physical setup of your network, ifconfig -a output, and netstat -rn. HTH. -- Crist J.
