Stopping ARP responses from local box

'lo,

I'm trying to set up some 2.4 boxes to work behind a Crisco local director in funky ARP mode, which requires disabling ARPs on the boxes. Unfortunately, "ifconfig eth0 -arp" turns off ARP use for gateway resolution, which I'd like to keep if possible.

I notice there is "arptable" support in netfilter now, but I don't see any instructions on how to use it. Would this do what I want, or is there something else? I'd prefer to not have to patch the kernel.

Simon-
