Because that just doesnt work, like ive mentioned above, I have to
force a different MAC address into the ARP table.

http://www.dslreports.com/faq/9693  is what im trying to accomplish.

su-2.05b# ifconfig ed0 alias 10.0.0.2/24
su-2.05b# telnet 10.0.0.1
Trying 10.0.0.1...
^C
su-2.05b# arp -s 10.0.0.1 00:0b:23:2a:b0:c4
su-2.05b# telnet 10.0.0.1
Trying 10.0.0.1...
^C

oh well, I thank all you guys for trying to help, its just not
working, and Im not going to waste any more of your guys time on it.

Great to see helpful people in the mailing list, so Im going to stick
around. :-)

And for the record, the linux commands are: (and these commands work,
as Ive used it for months in this setup):

ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add 10.0.0.1 dev eth1
arp -s 10.0.0.1 000b232ab0c4
