     SUN should not be able to send ARP broadcasts.



And, I will not be able to add static ARP entries in all the machines


in the same subnet for access control reasons.



Also, even if I null-route all other addresses, ARP broadcasts will


reach the other machines. ARP broadcast when I plumb an IP address on


my solaris machine do reach the other solaris machines on the same


subnet (even when I have null-routing for this subnet).
