ifconfig_ep0="inet 209.74.87.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"

the netmasks are for the same subnet ... that is the thing that results in
the kernel giving out these messages. If it's two different networks/subnets
that're in picture then you could try using different masks.

These ARP messages usually occur when people think they must hook two NICs
up to the same LAN. But your description sounds like they go out onto two
separate networks? Or do I misunderstand? Could you draw a picture maybe?

Thanks,
