hello all,

Was wondering why ethereal shows a FQDN in my arp packets. This FDQN
shows up in parentheses beside the destination mac address field of the
packet.These arp requests show that they are for hosts on the local
subnet looking for an unknown mac (of course) and this mysterious FDQN
is on another network elsewhere in my infrastructure. This shows up in
all arp requests. 

running on rh8.

thanks for any information!
John
