sysctls issue

Hello,

I think the net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements and 
net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface sysctls should control the arp 
messages in /var/log/messages. I don't want to see this kind of errors, 
thus I've set them to 0. Now there mustn't be any arp logs in 
/var/log/messages, must they?

Actually, there has been one since I set the two sysctls:
Jun 28 12:51:42 server kernel: arplookup 195.70.50.6 failed: host is not 
on local network


Before I set them to 0, there had been much more arplookup messages, 
just the same as I wrote above. Have I missed something? Or should I 
post this issue as a bugreport?

Cheers,

Gábor Kövesdán
