Hi,
I sent the attached patch to the maintainer/developer of arping. But
since it is not a big patch, a new snap shot is not made available yet.
The patch is against the snapshot of november 2000.
It adds the following capability:
arping -b -I eth0 {virtual_ip},
and responds with all hosts that have this ip.
(Allright, now I need something that converts the mac to the primary ip)
If you are using lvs-direct-routing, in a setup that you do not need
arp reply prevention, it is a welcome utility.
Our monitoring software uses it, to determine within 2 seconds if a host
is still up, or if a new host has been added...
