Okay, I'll show my ignorance and ask... the Documentation for arp_filter says source routing must be used. Is there some flag I'm missing, or a way to avoid having a rule per address, or is the 8 bit rule number larger in 2.6, or ??? Or is having a lot of IPs on one machine not an imaginable case?
Last response I got was that one would have to hack the netlink api to get a bigger index because the design (and rfc, unfortunately) describe the field as only 8 bits. I never did hear a response to my comment that this was inadequate in this age of vlans... -- Ben Greear [off-list ref] Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
