Yes. Took ~5 minutes to find the answer. 1. Google for UCARP, click first hit 2. Access the README file on the UCARP download page From: http://download.pureftpd.org/pub/ucarp/README "...And last, but not least, you can use a script that will connect to your switches and flush their ARP cache. Some users reported that transitions were way faster when also switching MAC addresses." -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
