Unfortunately I don't have access to the 6509 or it would be a done deal. My stuff's at a Sprint co-lo facility and getting thru to a live tech across the country at Sprint is next to impossible. The 6509 is theirs and is what I connect to on their network to get out to the world. I was just looking for a way to force their equipment to clear or refresh it's arp cache. Thanks.
