Hmm. The odd thing is that it only happens when several ssh's are spawned at the same time, like earlier today with "scp amd64.p:file host:". But this may be a red herring. Another potential pattern, now that I think about it, could be that it only happens when the target host hasn't had any traffic for a while, so the switch may have forgotten the MAC address. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
