Do you mean you change ARP entries (e.g. modifying existing ones)?
On the IP440 you do not use local.arp but use Voyager to modify ARP entries
instead.
If you modify existing ARP entries, then you'll have to wait for the ARP
cache to clean up (this should not take longer yjan a couple of minutes).
If you add new ARP entries, be sure to use Permanent, Proxy-only settings
instead of Static - this is the one for you (more you can read in Voyager's
Docs section). In this case the new ARP entries are effective immediately.
