There is a problem with the latest 4-STABLE where when you move an IP from 
one server on the network to a new one, a proper arp packet isn't being 
sent upstream, so the router isn't getting the change ...

It only appears to affect the new em driver, as I have other servers on 
the network running an older kernel, where this doesn't happen ...

Does anyone have a 'work around' for this?
