    Subject[PATCH] linux/net/ipv4/arp.c, kernel 2.0.36 (& 2.0.37-pre9)
    Description: Fixes problem with external loopback, using crossed route entries.
    Version: 2.0.36 (& 2.0.37-pre9)
    Testing: Connected two NICs together, using an external cross-over cable,
    swapped route entries (to force packets out the opposite interfaces),
    and then issued pings, telnets, & ftps to both addreseses. Unplugged
    the cable to verify pings, etc. were appropriately halted.
    Request: Please CC bmoyle@redcreek.com with any comments/feedback.
