Arplookup error.

[Sorin Chiorean]

I doesn't seem to show up on a regular base.
This is an example from a log file :
Nov 24 12:16:45 nira /kernel: arplookup 100.93.140.1 failed: host is not on
local network
Nov 24 12:17:40 nira /kernel: arplookup 100.93.140.1 failed: host is not on
local network
Nov 24 12:21:18 nira /kernel: arplookup 100.93.140.1 failed: host is not on
local network
Nov 24 12:26:52 nira /kernel: Nov 24 12:21:18 nira last message repeated 3
times
The main problem is the I installed this server somewhere in Europe and I'm
living in Canada. I can not see what the users are doing when this error
come up. 
Do you think that I can trace this error with a tool (as TCPDUMP) ?
If "YES" what should I search for ?

Until I will trace down this error how can I disable this message to show up
on console?

When does the message come up? 
Nothing in the configuration you showed should be getting the machine
to ever attempt to ARP for addresses not on its own networks.
