Either one of us can't count or there is a typo in there. 2 to the 4th is 16 rather than 32. There is probably a kernel parameter you can tweak to make arp entries last longer. I didn't find a simple answer with a quick search. You can lock arp entries. I haven't tried it recently. If I was going to experiment with this, I'd use a pair of machines that weren't talking to each other (via NTP or whatever) and use ping and ip neigh or arp from the command line. I haven't found a simple way to print out the timer from the command line. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
