Yeah...it is ServerGuard that I'm thinking about.  But you're missing
my point: this doesn't work unless the *client* machines accept
multicast addresses in arp replies.  If we dump acceptance of multicast
addresses by the arp code, then a NetBSD box suddenly becomes incapable
of being an NFS client of a ServerGuarded server.

IMO this would be Not Good.

Unless I misunderstood, and the tweak to the arp code that was being
talked about was a way to make it _generate_ arp replies containing
multicast addresses, in which case I agree there's not much point.
