This is becoming pretty off-topic, but having thousands of arp entries floating around on a network is also arguably a bad idea for the same reason as having thousands of IP addresses hanging off a single interface. I normally configure ip aliases off lo0 and use gated to announce the networks to the world and drop packets destined to unconfigured hosts. This is generally a cleaner and more flexible configuration to use. Nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
