I'll let you in on another little secret too, rarpd under freebsd (which
uses bpf {oddly?}) does not work half the time, sometimes it must be
restarted to get it to answer rarp requests, I also have two interfaces
and only one little machine requiring a rarp server on my network -- but
even that is a thorough pain (I'll be replacing it with a freebsd machine
soon)
