Synopsis: [arp] ARP cache can be poisoned or polluted with ease.

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: remko
State-Changed-When: Fri Jul 9 14:36:42 UTC 2010
State-Changed-Why: 
Hello, this is why we invented static ARP if you do not want to have the
cache modified. Else this is a perfectly valid usage, if I change some
hardware for example I can force update the ARP entry by connecting to
the box that needs to be updated. If that would only happen when the box
needs to query the device for some reason it could take a long time
which is not desired.  Would you please be so kind to review the items
you are submitting first before sending in a PR ? Either discuss it on
net@ or search around at google so that you are informed about what is
fine and what is not. Eventhough my harsh previous words, I still would
like to thank you (again) for trying to make FReeBSD better..
