I'm not sure what you mean....  Either it does in the code, or it
doesn't, no?  I haven't looked in a long while.  I did try to make some
fixes in the virgin 1.3.2 rarpd code but to no avail.  The more recent
changes were somewhat along the lines of what I did IIRC.

In my case it doesn't seem to matter if the entry is there, or not, or
even if it is there and it is permanently published with '-s'.  It only
works correctly the first time and all other times I have to delete and
re-add or re-publish the ARP entry.

Note though that my server kernel is 1.3.2, which as far as I know is
before some of the major recent fixes in the kernel ARP code.
