The strange thing is not the message it's self, but the fact that this machine (the machine "skafi") has only one interface, with a private IP, while the IP_A is a public IP address. I can't think why the ARP is involved here, if a packet has the destination IP_A it should just go to the router. I have found that this error message appears in the messages when the httpd is starting. :-/ Any ideas? -- Pavlos Georgiadis
