Because arp manages the communications between the physical hardware
address and the "Internet address", dumping the tables is probably
blowing away all active communications between the physical layer and
the network layer.

If so, this may be allowing the filters enough time to become active and
block the renegotiation attempt of the traffic in question.

Just a thought, although not well expressed...

Thanks,

Danny

I'm surprised to hear that.  I can't imagine why whether an IP address
is
in the arp cache should affect an active translation!
