Hi. Lets forget about the network interface that has one ip.   The network
interface that has two IP's (they are virtual ips because one physical
interface has two ips) would have no problem with the ARP packets because it
is the same for both networks.  Supposing each virtual ip has a different
network compared with the other.

Look at the OSI layer, if you are working with Ethernet then the Link layer
would transport the physical address and over that the IP layer and then the
TCP..  The IP layer would have two variants of source and target addresses
but the hardware address would be the same.

Thanks.
