There is a problem with the latest 4-STABLE where when you move an IP from

Does anyone have a 'work around' for this?

arp -s 10.0.2.3 00:00:10:20:30:45 pub

On the "old" owner of the ip address, publish the MAC of the new owner
(10.0.2.3 being the ip that was moved, 00:00:10:20:30:45 being the new
MAC). I do this all the time as someone set this stupid Cisco switch
up with a 2 hour ARP cache and I can't change/disable it.

Once you verify that the router gets updated, delete the published arp entry.
