If so, then we need a patch like the one below...? Yes, this is necessary. We are doing ARP filtering according to the IP address of the interface, as you have realized. Our implementation is rather ugly at the moment, so the plan is to try to get rid of this dependency on INET, but we need it for now. Thanks Randy for finding this and thanks John for fixing it. >> From ba823accfad68151d80503ff5fb04c049c9eadc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 >> From: John W.
