In colo or datacenter environments ISP's and Telco's are not too eager about
gratuitous ARPs, as they can be a sign of hacking activities (trying to
intercept traffic to neighboring hosts or network devices). At any rate, the
em-driver should broadcast the same way as bge or any of the others. I'll try
to capture some ARP traffic on a em interface and see if it looks ok.
What would be the best way to add an alias IP without other funny things in
the OS being triggered? Just do 'ifconfig em1 (aliasip) netmask (mask) bcast
[bcat) alias' ?
All I ever do is:
ifconfig em0 alias <ip> netmask 255.255.255.255
maybe that's the problem, there is something else I should be adding?
