I have a linux failover solution with AIX 5.X clients. Aix says that it honors gratuitous ARP but when services (NFS, LDAP...) change from one linux server to the other my AIX clients freeze until I delete the entry in the arp table manualy (or the timeout is quite long!). I've tried to minimize the ARP cache timeout this week on the AIX clients from 20mn to 2 mn for testing.
I have a few dozen pairs of firewalls that have had AIX boxes going through them from AIX 4.3 to 5.3 and I have never had to touch the ARP tables.
I have had apps that don't handle the loss of connection cleanly and the app has required manual restarting, but never any problems with the AIX systems themselves.
