Wierdness in 4.2.

Scenario:

interface fxp0 has address 100.1.1.1. Use it with this address for awhile.

decide to change it to 100.1.1.5. do:

ifconfig fxp0 delete 100.1.1.1
ifconfig fxp0 100.1.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0

viewing ifconfig shows the new address. HOWEVER, pinging 100.1.1.99, the 
freebsd machine sends out 100.1.1.1, the OLD address.

Is this cached/saved somewhere and not getting cleaned up?

Dennis
