Thanks Mike, Can you please share what you use SMAC for? I hope SMAC (www.klcconsulting.net/smac) will resolve many issues, and let security and network administrators benefit from it. One benefit: SMAC resolve small/medium size company with setting up a stand-by servers ("semi" high-availability) for firewall, database servers, email and application servers because now they can setup 2 "identical systems" with same computer name, IP and MAC addresses! When the primary server goes down, just unplug primary server from the net and plugin the stand-by server, user will not get extended down-time because MAC address stays the same and there is no confusion on the arp-table. Obvious they will have to find a mean to replicate the primary and stand-by systems. The user can put a router between the 2 systems due to the same MAC addresses on 2 systems, but they can simply do this by putting a router that support NAT with port mapping (even a cheap Linksys DSL router will do), which will allow these 2 systems to replicate without problems. Real cheap solution for real stand-by systems. Of course there are many other applications and benefits you can see from the SMAC website.
