Can you add something here that mentions that, for the arp_ip_target option, it has to be supplied as "arp_ip_target=+10.0.0.1" and not just "arp_ip_target=10.0.0.1"? Also, multiple targets require multiple instances of the arp_ip_target option; it doesn't work to put multiple IP addresses as in the module option (i.e., "arp_ip_target=10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2"). This is necessary because ifup-eth isn't adding the "+" when it translates the option for use with sysfs or parsing the multiple IP address syntax. -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, IBM Linux Technology Center, fubar@us.ibm.com
