Cisco and ARP troubles

[Jeff Mings]

Warren, you have been so selfless with your time in helping others on 
this list, and I wish I could help you on this one, but I doubt there 
are any hardcore Cisco guys tuned in.   The ONLY guy I know of who's any 
good with Cisco is Del Wong, the one-man Flex.net team, but he usually 
does his best to avoid questions.  It's possible that he might answer a 
single short question, if you're very polite.
