Don't ask me how, don't ask me why, but a new error started showing up with mrouted after I booted kernel 2.0.17. This error in /var/adm/syslog looks like this:
mrouted[1838]: warning - received DVMRP message from 'the unknown host' or self: 38.250.52.39
It repeats 7 times per minute (ouch).
38.250.52.39 is one of the interfaces on this system. The mrinfo report on it is as follows:
127.0.0.1 (localhost) [version 3.8,prune,genid,mtrace]:
38.250.52.39 -> 38.250.52.34 (andrew.teksouth.com) [1/1]
38.250.52.129 -> 0.0.0.0 (local) [1/1/querier/leaf]
The only thing unusual about this machine is an aliased IP address (38.250.52.51) on the same physical interface as 38.250.52.39. 38.250.52.129 is a separate Ethernet card.
Here we go again.
