Keeping it as simple as possible ...

Broadcast ping from a domu:
symbiote# ping 192.168.x.255
PING 192.168.x.255 (192.168.x.255): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.x.9: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.042 ms

Broadcast ping from dom0:
gogeta# ping 192.168.x.255
PING 192.168.x.255 (192.168.x.255): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.x.10: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.076 ms

64 bytes from 192.168.x.6: icmp_seq=0 DUP! ttl=255 time=1.168 ms

With x.10 being the IP address of dom0.

Why doesn't dom0 respond to a broadcast from a domu?

TIA for _any_ information :)
