For those who may now know about the FreeBSD Foundation's address set-aside, they would likely encounter it here. In working with addresses = the admin can be assured that the address is "well known", i.e. one set up for FreeBSD use. In terms of setting the initial reference I can see=20 ifconfig(8) <=3D=3D=3D> arp(8) (either one) Handbook references Any other man page references Flip a coin?
