>Description:

When attempting to publish an IP address for ARP proxy the command

    arp -s ip_address auto pub

where ip_address is an address in the subnet to which one of my Ethernet
cards is attached, results in the following error:

    using interface ed1 for proxy with address 0:e0:29:32:21:ee
    arp: writing to routing socket: File exists

Attempting to explicitly specify the Ethernet address of the card in the
command (i.e. arp -s ip_address ethernet_of_card pub) doesn't work either,
giving the "arp: writing to routing socket: File exists" error, as well.

Simply adding the ARP entry to the ARP table without publishing it for proxy
ARP (i.e. arp -s ip_adddress ethernet_of_card) works fine, but is useless
to me ;) I'm not sure if this is a "bin" or "kern" bug.

>How-To-Repeat:

Use arp to publish a proxy ARP entry.

>Fix:
	
Unknown.
