They sent an arp request directly to my machine asking who it was, since to my routing tables the machine sending the request was on not on a direct route, I got that message in the syslog. When I set up static routes to those subnets, the messages went away. I have a 10M tcpdump which I took to isolate a few arp and icmp packets. :-) Thanks. -Reggie
