No, but it's probably something we can use as a data-point to find out what's going on. The thing I don't like is that packets get routed counter to what "netstat -rna" & "arp -a" reports. In my case packets were sent out a wrong interface even. So we are talking about some pointer which ends up pointing to the wrong arp-entry I think. Maybe that could be a/the hint. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
