Hmm, I also have seen a system, which did not crash. But I really
cannot say what kind (OSType, HW) it was.

Yeah, I would agree with you here, even though I am not sure about
this. Sounds reasonable, at least.

Unfortunately, this is not applicable in this environment :-( Every
single IP num costs me money. (It's my private connection, not
commercial. We have very good conditions, but only as long as we use
exactly one IP num))
(Right now, I am using another IP num (one which is officially
assigned) and filter it. Although it hurts nobody, it's just plain
ugly :-(

;-)
I noted before (whether this may seem appropriate or not), that
SunOS5, Irix 6 and Linux are able of ARPing here. I wonder how to
bribe the folks in FreeBSD-land to implement this. ;-) It would take
me time (dunno how much, though) to do it myself, but maybe someone
else would like to have this, too. Again, I cannot believe I am the
only one with this config?
Cheers,
