Hello FreeBSD users,

I am sure I can learn from the expertise available on this list!
I know it has some of the best brains in networking.

I have several machines on the same physical LAN, but all those
machines have been sending me this output in their daily security
run output for the past few days:


hostname-changed.wananchi.com kernel log messages:
> arplookup 62.8.72.2 failed: host is not on local network
> arplookup 62.8.72.2 failed: host is not on local network

I have asked our network engineers what they screwed up that led to
these messages coming on our servers every night but they are not
giving me answers, so I am looking for something to use to hit
them where it matters ;)

Can someone explain this to me?
