The arp table is continuously cleaned up, dynamic entries expire after 
about one minute.



am I correct with arp -d * should clear all arp information?


Yes

I have a few questions with arp on FreeBSD

Does the FreeBSD maintain its arp information in a File?

Does rebooting FreeBSD clear the arp table?

am I correct with arp -d * should clear all arp information?

Thanks

No.  It's not really necessary, the way arp works now.

 Does rebooting FreeBSD clear the arp table?

Yes.  It would be silly to keep an arp table from a previous run of the
system and then mess things up when, for instance, a laptop moves from
one network to another, right? :)

 am I correct with arp -d * should clear all arp information?

No.  But you can use ``arp -d -a'' for this.
