    Hi gurus,

    I have a jumpstart server connected to several subnets, using the
    motherboard interface hme0, and a quad.
    hme0 is the primary interface, qfe0 and qfe1 are the other active (and
    tested) interfaces.

    Jumpstart works fine if the client connects to it via hme0 (primary
    interface).
    Jumpstart does not work if the same client connects to it through qfe1.

    If I snoop qfe1 I see:
    OLD-BROADCAST -> (broadcast) RARP C Who is 0:3:ba:2a:2c:28 ?
    This occurs each time I see "Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet" on the
    client.

    This looks like a previous problem (cf
    http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/sunmanagers/2002-May/013553.html),
    except that the solution does not work ! I tried rebooting the jumpstart
    server, and manually restarting in.rarpd -a, to no avail.

    Jumpstart server is Ultra 5 with Solaris 8.
    Client is a blade SF B100 inside an SF B1600.

    Any suggestions ?

    Thanks in advance,
