Was something changed recently that would affect this? I was seeing the identical behavior on both my SMP and UP machines until today. Got to the point where I was using bgp to route local host traffic through my gateway to get the two dom0 peth0's tp talk to each other. dom0-1 - 10 domU dom0-2 - 3 domU Gateway | -------------------------- subnet A | | dom0-1 dom0-2 |peth0 |peth0 subnet B ---------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1-1 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6 1-7 1-8 1-9 1-10 2-1 2-2 2-3 With this topology dom0-1 and dom0-2 where seeing the peth0 mac address in the arp table, so one peth0 could not talk to other across subnet B.
