Hrm, one potential downside just came to my mind...

A gateway for instance will frequently generate ARP Requests for
various addresses. Sending a message to the three, poor nodes that
happen to be the DAT candidates for the gateway IP might create a
significant amount of messages to these nodes if we were
triggering that for each ARP Request... And all those unicast
messages would basically be redundant as the gateway IP/MAC pair
will already be well populated in the DAT.

One solution would be to introduce rate limiting for global DAT
cache updates... So basically introducing a third timeout for a
DAT entry, next to the global and local DAT cache timeout split.
