I have one interface in my BSD router that serves a private network. Is it possible to disable ARP on that interface and make static ARP entries on router? I'm looking for a way to allow only certain MAC addresses to access via this interface. I do know it's only false security, but it would prevent people adding easily unauthorized computers. And since there are only about 10 comps in this particular network, maintaining static ARP entries would not be worksome. I would not like to get into bridging if this works. -Vesa, SysAdmin
