Hi Chris,

Some new clarifications are in order.  Please disregard the "ARP
Inspection" claim.  That feature wasn't even enabled.

Here's a very simplified drawing of the setup.

1) Assuming Machine #2 was last deployed and then released within the past 4 
hours, using the IP 10.1.1.11.  Thus the router already has an ARP entry in its 
cache matching 10.1.1.11 to MAC 22:22.
2) Machine #1 is starting Deployment and happens to receive 10.1.1.11 from 
Controller to use for ephemeral PXE IP.
3) Machine #1 sends packet to 10.1.2.100:5240
4) Controller sees pack from 10.1.1.11
5) Controller responds to 10.1.1.11
6) Machine #1 never sees the response packet

We suspect the response packet was sent Machine #2.  We are actively
parsing the pcap data to confirm.
