Not a use case I am quick to defend, but it is worth mentioning that this appears to be how Windows Server 2008/IIS 7 "clusters" work. The servers in the cluster reply to ARP queries for the "shared IP" with a MAC address that is never used to originate traffic - thus causing traffic to the shared IP to be broadcast to all hosts in the collision domain because it is never added to layer 2 MAC tables. -Adam _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
