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.. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=148463
