Is there a way of doing this manually? man arp doesn't seem to indicate any way using that ... One thing I should note is that it *used* to do this ... the server has been up for 84 days now, but when first booted, I could add/remove pre-aliased IPs without this problem ... is there anything that maybe I should be checking before a reboot that may indicate an underlying problem? ---- Marc G.
