man page says that ethernet-address (MAC) + fully-qualified-host-name (FQHN). The issue is that host cannot resolve the address by using FQHN, thus no ARP any more, but no traffic either.
After adding FQDH in the /etc/hosts file then, ARP request uses FQHN instead of IP (10.237.148.52). The question is why ARP occurs? The subnet (10.227.148.0) is not matching with the local network/netmask (10.234.37.0/24) unless somewhere in the system is using default 255.0.0.0 netmask for 10.0 A class network by mistake. ________________________________ From: Chuck Swiger <cswi...@mac.com> To: Jin Guojun <jguo...@sbcglobal.net> Cc: questions freebsd <questi...@freebsd.org> Sent: Wed, February 13, 2013 2:33:57 PM Subject: Re: Why ue0 do ARP on non local address when using static route?

I'm not sure what "QFHN" is, but setting up an entry in /etc/ethers provides the IP to MAC address mapping that ARP attempts to provide dynamically. > The correct way is to use router IP (10.234.37.1) between 10.234.37.0 and >10.227.148.0 instead of interface IP (10.234.37.80) for static route. Assuming there's a router at 10.234.37.1 which knows how to get to 10.227.148.52, yes.
