Turning off ARP in linux-2.4.0

So in the setup I have, we have an ATM which gets all incoming requests for the web site. And then we have 7 other machines that get the requests passed onto them by the ATM.
You can hardwire the ARP entry of your redirector to your Router. In that case the router will not ask the shared media about the Owner of the IP.

Any ideas on how I can turn off the arping?
why dont u use -arp as you can read it in the manual and as i written in my post. I dont see a reason why it should not work.
Actually:
calista:/home/ecki# tcpdump -n -e -i eth0 arp & [1] 26211 calista:/home/ecki# ping 10.0.0.7 PING 10.0.0.7 (10.0.0.7) from 10.0.0.3 : 56(84) bytes of data. 05:05:23.678782 0:0:c0:78:72:df ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 0806 42: arp who-has 10.0.0.7 tell 10.0.0.3
--- 10.0.0.7 ping statistics ---

calista:/home/ecki# 05:05:24.670230 0:0:c0:78:72:df ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 0806 42: arp who-has 10.0.0.7 tell 10.0.0.3
calista:/home/ecki# 05:05:25.670215 0:0:c0:78:72:df ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 0806 42: arp who-has 10.0.0.7 tell 10.0.0.3
calista:/home/ecki# ifconfig eth0 -arp calista:/home/ecki# calista:/home/ecki# ping 10.0.0.9 PING 10.0.0.9 (10.0.0.9) from 10.0.0.3 : 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 10.0.0.9 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss calista:/home/ecki#
as you can see after using -arp my kernel will no longer issue 3 arp requests for (not existing in my case) hosts.
And i do habe 2.4.0 with 3com ethernet.
Greetings
Bernd
