    I have a Solaris machine which has two Ethernet
    interfaces - each interface is connected to a seperate
    switch.

    When I type

            arp -a

    on the multihome machine, all the machines on one switch
    should be on one interface - and all the machines on the
    other switch should be the other interface - correct?

    The only connection between the two switches should be
    the multihome machine.

    I'm seeing arp traffic from some machines on both network
    interaces which I presume implies I have a wiring problem
    since I'm trying to keep the traffice isolated.

    The multihome machine is a server for both networks.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
