Hello, I need some static ARP entries on the firewall. Is it a good place to create these in ''init'' with arp command or is there a better place/way ? Peter

Let me explain te problem I have. I have a shorewall firewall and behind that firewall there are some nodes which I can fireup by wakeonlan packages. The problem is that I cannot send the wakeonlan packes out when the node which must come up is not in the ARP table. When I manually add this node to the ARP table it works perfectly. Normally these nodes are in the ARP table dynamically and when the system is turned off they leave after a while. But I need them statically so I can turn these machines on by running the perl script from the firewall. Do you understand what I mean ? Peter Lindeman
