            Bug ID: 233015
           Summary: arp -s weird error with non-local IPs
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: arm64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: vince@macports.org

arp -s reports a weird error =E2=80=9Ccannot allocate memory=E2=80=9D when =
instructed to
masquerade an ARP - IP entry whose IP is out of the local network window (e=
.g.
172.31.1.0 on a 172.31.0.0/24 network).

It would be more informative for the user to have the error reported as an =
=E2=80=9Cout
of range IP=E2=80=9D or something of the same ilk, since =E2=80=9Ccannot al=
locate memory=E2=80=9D gives
the false impression something is broken within the kernel.
