  is there a way to force a gratituous arp broadcast for an IP?
• 22:03
  jbk
  I'm thinking no

  (or at least down/up an interface)

  possibly if you delete the table entry with arp(8)?

  I think that should who-has when you next try to reach it?
• 22:24
  jbk
  that would be for other systems I think

  jbk
  vs ours...

  is changing your mac address cheating? :)
• 22:26
  jbk
  probably :)

  i suspect just doing a quick ifconfig down/ifconfig up is probably good enough

  jbk
  (it seems to have both lost ARP entries, but also not sending broadcasts)

  if the switchy is flaky, I don't think you'll know what works until it does

  jbk
  deleting and recreating the interface worked
