I have a problem with arp query's in b134.

After leaving the opensolaris server running for a couple of days
it start to send arp queries every 0.5 second to one or more powered off ws.

Another observation is that the arp cache entries are never flagged as old.

To reproduce the problem:

- ping a server from opensolaris b134 so the ip gets in the arp cache.
- turn off/disconnect the pinged server.
- ping the server again.

Now the arp requests will begin.

The only way to stop the arp requests is to manually delete the arp entry.

I have verified that the problem exists on:
1. Sparc server using bge0
2. x64 Server using a crossbow vnic


Here is an example where I have powered off 10.55.55.11 and the
opensolaris server have 10.55.55.200

arp -an:
