Given that, if the host *is* on the same subnet, and you want to reach it, it doesn't really matter what IP address is bound to the adapter-- you can just add a static ARP entry on the local system to assign the MAC to whatever "in-network" IP you want, whether it's the "real" IP or not...
Maybe I misunderstand your point, but as you will be indeed be able to send that host an ethernet frame knowing its MAC address, you may want to have it processed at upper layers, if you need to coomunicate with that host for instance. As it will drop any packet that is not destined to its very own IP address (or one of its, if multiple), you definitly need to know it for this kind of purpose. -- http://sid.rstack.org/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE
