 * This program sends out one ARP packet with source/target IP and Ethernet

 * Packet Factory (http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet/ ). It has been tested

/*
 * Notes on send_arp() behaviour. Horms, 15th June 2004
 *
 * 1. Target Hardware Address
 *    (In the ARP portion of the packet)
 *
 *    a) ARP Reply
 *
 *       Set to the MAC address we want associated with the VIP,
 *       as per RFC2002 (4.6).
 *
 *       Previously set to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 *
 *    b) ARP Request
 *
 *       Set to 00:00:00:00:00:00. According to RFC2002 (4.6)
 *       this value is not used in an ARP request, so the value should
 *       not matter. However, I observed that typically (always?) this value
 *       is set to 00:00:00:00:00:00. It seems harmless enough to follow
 *       this trend.
 *
 *       Previously set to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 *
 *  2. Source Hardware Address
 *     (Ethernet Header, not in the ARP portion of the packet)
 *
 *     Set to the MAC address of the interface that the packet is being
 *     sent to. Actually, due to the way that send_arp is called this would
 *     usually (always?) be the case anyway. Although this value should not
 *     really matter, it seems sensible to set the source address to where
 *     the packet is really coming from.  The other obvious choice would be
 *     the MAC address that is being associated for the VIP. Which was the
 *     previous values.  Again, these are typically the same thing.
 *
 *     Previously set to MAC address being associated with the VIP
