Re: ARP problems in -testing?

["Ron Watkins" <xen-devel@malor.com>]

Well, I could certainly be doing something wrong.  That's why I'm asking if 
it's a bug, not saying definitely that it is. :-)

If I ping the guest domain from dom0, while running tcpdump in the slave 
domain, I do see arp requests and replies working.  I can be pinging from 
dom0 to the slave and getting answers back at the EXACT SAME TIME that I am 
pinging from outside... the dom0 pings work, the outside pings arrive and go 
unanswered.  As soon as I ping something from within the slave domain, the 
connection wakes up and works normally.

I have attached a redacted tcpdump text file... I have replaced the IP 
addresses, but it is otherwise exact.  You will see that I am pinging from 
69.0.0.74 to 69.0.0.77 (the master to the slave), which is working, while 
simultaneous requests from 24.0.0.10 go unanswered.   There are correct arp 
request/reply packets, it's working, at least, over the virtual link.

The way this colocated server is configured:

network (wire) address 69.0.0.72/29
Router:  69.0.0.73
Domain0: 69.0.0.74
slave1: .75
slave2: .76
slave 3: .77  (this is the one I was using for testing)
slave 4: .78 (not yet active)
broadcast: .79

I just started on the list today and don't have any idea what you're talking 
about wrt a routed setup...  but if it's just now been checked in, it's 
probably not in my code anyway.  I'm in -testing, not -unstable.

(I won't bother redacting the server ips anymore if I post anything else, 
anyone with half an ounce of brains is going to figure it out anyway.  I 
will continue to change my client IP, however.)
