It has its own values provided from the establishment of the default gateway (and maybe something else - I haven't looked at the code in a little while). So a permanent arp entry won't help, unfortunately. A small note on the kernel dump server. [snip] Your choices are to put the dump server on a different subnet (the router will obviously forward in this case, as that what it must do) or write your own arp code in a modified kernel. That's what we did, since we already had kernel mods. Most folks won't go that way :) You can also make a permanent ARP entry ("man arp") for the kernel dump server on all your local systems. This doesn't help, of course, after the fact :-} This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
