Under SLES 10 SP 2, if you bring up an image that has the same IP address as a currently running system, is linux smart enough not to flood the network with packets with duplicate IP addresses?
It does figure something out, saying that it can not register the IP address, but does it keep trying and flood the network and/or mess up communications with the box that was running initially? In the old days, when a Windows box came online with a duplicate IP address, the entire network would suffer. What happens in the Linux world?
