What about implementing the unused arp_announce flag on the inetdevice?
Something like the following.  Totally untested...

Looks like it either was there (and got removed) or was planned but
never implemented.

IN_DEV_ARP_ANNOUNCE is in 2.6.18, at least..used in arp_solicit in arp.c

I really hope this didn't get removed because I find it very useful!

But, you could certainly add another sysctl...

Thanks,
Ben

yeah, something new like arp_notify? or arp_gratiutous

There are other drivers that do their own arp, they need to be fixed.
