The problem is complex and can't be solved with ifconfig -arp

why?

Quoted 3 lines

The needs for clusters with shared addresses include:

1. block ARP replies for such addresses

-arp will do that

Quoted 2 lines

2. don't announce these addresses in the ARP probes (can be achieved using ip addr add IP brd + dev lo scope host)

i guess -arp will disable neighbour alive probes, too?

Quoted 1 line

3. don't autoselect such addresses (for source addresses)

This is not done if you do not use a route through that ip

So where is the problem with -arp?

Well.. another solution would be to use the ipip system instead of the arp redirection, right?
