Hello,

I've tried the following today:

I have a ip subnetwork on an ethernet (129.104.11.0). On this ethernet
I've installed a solaris machine, with ip adress 192.168.1.1.
On my NetBSD/pmax (129.104.11.53), I've done
'route add -host 192.168.1.1 -interface 129.104.11.53'.
netstat shows now:
netstat -rn

So all seems fine. But a single 'ping' produce the message:
Aug  1 16:08:30 antioche /netbsd: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo
and I don't have any response from 192.168.1.1. (tcpdump shows that
nothing is sent from the NetBSD host). 
Is this a known bug ? I am doing something wrong ?

The same on another solaris machine allow me to connect to 192.168.1.1.
