Last time I tried it was on a much older version - like 3.2

No, this can't be the explanation.  It's perfectly legitimate for arp
entries to be randomly deleted (due to aging or being superceded by new
mappings.)  More likely the command in the UI to flush the arp table is
either explicitly flushing the translation table, or something else is
doing so as a side-effect...  Hmmm, I tried an experiment.  Went to a
3.5.3
gnatbox, looked at the active connections, flushed the arp table, looked
at
the connections again.  My ssh session through the gnatbox was not
interrupted and the connections already active were not disturbed.  What

release do you see this behavior in?
