Hi,
in my internal network someone is using a kind of arp poisoning, since two (or 
more) computers results _sometimes_ associated to the same MAC address. Since 
I've got a linux firewall-proxy (iptables and squid) that limits the traffic 
depending on the mac address, this is a problem for me. Is there a solution 
to solve the problem?

Thanks,
Luca

Someone else mentioned ip-sentinel. Arpwatch is also a useful tool.

If this is on your internal network, you are best off tracing down
which devices are conflicting and figuring out if this is intentional
or some sort of bug. Someone capable of arp poisoning on your internal
network might have done a lot more than suck bandwidth -- they can
launch a number of man-in-the-middle attacks.
