Thanks for the nice explanation of the arp mechanism. This was not really my
question (I already knew that much). My real question was "2: is is possible
to do it all in one command" and more specifically HOW...
The arp(8) command does not do it or at least does not seem to do it. After
browsing through the FreeBSD source, the only way to trigger the arp
resolution is to attempt to send traffic to a given IP.
