YES!
Ian, i love you!
haha, yeah, this was exactly the problem. the gateway is a router that i
don't have direct access to, and the real servers couldn't arp request it
since they're not on a network it's attached to. if i add the arp entries
manually, everything works properly.
many thanks for the info and suggestion.
