      Hi,

      My setup is two cable modems with dynamic ip addresses but they are static enough and they are not on the same subnet. Below is my configuration:

      WAN interface (vr0)
      Status up
      DHCP up 
      MAC address 00:40:63:xx:xx:xx
      IP address 24.6.189.xxx 
      Subnet mask 255.255.248.0
      Gateway 24.6.184.1
      ISP DNS servers 4.2.2.2
      4.2.2.3
      Media 100baseTX <full-duplex>In/out packets 314576/156678 (359.02 MB/10.46 MB)
      In/out errors 0/0
      Collisions 0
      Interrupts/Second 457102 total
      220 rate

      OPT1 interface (vr1)
      Status up
      DHCP up 
      MAC address 00:40:63:xx:xx:xx
      IP address 24.6.169.xxx
      Subnet mask 255.255.248.0
      Gateway 24.6.168.1
      Media 100baseTX <full-duplex>In/out packets 357628/185174 (418.44 MB/12.14 MB)
      In/out errors 0/0
      Collisions 0
      Interrupts/Second 527314 total
      254 rate

      Above are my two wans. I can see dual wan working by looking at the traffic graphs and other things like that. Now, my problem is I get the following messages in my system log:

      Oct 26 22:59:49 kernel: arp: 24.6.184.1 is on vr0 but got reply from 00:01:5c:22:64:c2 on vr1
      Oct 26 22:59:49 kernel: arp: 24.6.168.1 is on vr1 but got reply from 00:01:5c:22:64:c2 on vr0
      Oct 26 22:59:49 kernel: arp: 24.6.168.1 is on vr1 but got reply from 00:01:5c:22:64:c2 on vr0
      Oct 26 22:59:49 kernel: arp: 24.6.184.1 is on vr0 but got reply from 00:01:5c:22:64:c2 on vr1
      Oct 26 22:59:49 kernel: arp: 24.6.168.1 is on vr1 but got reply from 00:01:5c:22:64:c2 on vr0
      Oct 26 22:59:49 last message repeated 2 times

      Does anyone know what can I do to get rid of it?</full-duplex></full-duplex>

        Do you plug both WANs into the same switch?

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Both wans go directly from modem to port on my machine.

            Advanced page, "This will suppress ARP messages when interfaces share the same physical network"
