Is there a dynamic way to change this arp timeout ? I haven't found any 
in man pages or sysctl -a | grep -i arp. What is the effort needed to 
implement this and is it possible to change it per interface (via 
ifconfig, maybe) ?

Also, are there any thoughts about implementing freebsd's staticarp ? Or 
maybe change '-arp' behaviour to act like fbsd staticarp.
