ARP problem with 2.6.32 Kernel

[charon]

Hi,

i tried to migrate a 2.6.18 server to the 2.6.32 Kernel branch, but I have problems using a static arp table.
There is one PHY adapter and two bridges not connected to the PHY interface. When I upgrade the kernel, only one subnet works.
I set the arp entries with a script with "arp -Ds <host>"

Is arp not fully supported by the 2.6.32 kernel?

maybe related to this thread (rp_filter):

thanks for pointing it out. I already tried the sysctl settings from http://wiki.openvz.org/Installation_on_Debian the rp_filter might be the solution, i'll have a try and sorry for not finding this thread.

I tested it last night and it is fully working now again with the proposed changes.
