[root@garak src]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_announce
0
[root@garak src]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_ignore
0

Do I want to leave arp_announce at 0 and make arp_ignore = 1 ?  Does
this mean I do not need the patch?

you don't need the hidden patch. Use the instructions in the HOWTO for arp_ignore etc
