Hi,

  Have a doubt regarding ARP behavior in case of a multi-homed linux box.

  Assume there are two interfaces eth0 and eth1 each configured with
IPs belonging to differrent
  subnets. Say IP1 is assigned to eth0 and IP2 to eth1. Now if an ARP
request comes on eth0
  for IP2, what is the behavior on Linux?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

Thanks,
Chaitra
