Alex, Thanks.
So... Internet-----Router----aPPO-------aB1-switch-aPPO-------aB2-----Client PCs In this case, I assume the router will "see" the mac address of AB1 with the IP address?

It will put with its own Mac with the IP address of the PC remains unchanged. So to the Router, it will see the packet appears to come from the aB and with different IP addresses. The ARP table will have the following entry: Eg. 00301A00EBBA 192.168.0.100 00301A00EBBA 192.168.0.101 Hope this clear.

We are frequently having to swap IP addresses if clients "mess around" with different computers into an AB and the arp table somewhere gets confused (also happens if/when we are testing with our own computer at a customer site), and I would like to understand much better exactly what happens.
