I keep getting: Mar 16 13:10:09 darryl /kernel: arplookup 10.2.2.2 failed: host is not on local network in my /var/log/messages file. It is coming from my DSL facing interface. I used ethereal to capture packets and determine the MAC address. Turns out to be a "vendor testpoint" on some OSI gear the ISP is using. They cannot correct this problem. ARP comes way before IPFilter, therefore I do not believe it can be filtered. Is there anything I can do to prevent these warnings/errors from clogging up my log files ? thanks, Darryl
