That thing's been bugging me too (but not enough to think about it) and I'm glad to have seen it explained. Looking closer, in my DHCP case, the IP# is labeled "New Routers" by dhclient; aparently my ISP's routers time-sharing the IP#. It would make more sense for it to be my cable modem, but I don't know why/how it would be changing MACs. "arp -a" DOES show the IP# as in the client.attbi.com domain which sounds like it might be unique to a customer/client at any one time. Anyone know? (I which I knew how to shut the cable up. I ran the cable halfway 'round the room so I could what the xfr light flash, but it's not useful as there's continual traffic (1-3 Hz) to my NIC (but no further, AFAIK; ipfw doesn't see anything more than I expect).) Would the message be any clearer (ie, easier to figure out) ending "on xl0's data link"? (An OSI level 2 term, probably.) No MACs moved on xl0, of course. I guess the MACs moved on "xl0", but it doesn't even know about any IP addresses other than it's own, AFAIK, so the IP can't move "on xl0", strictly speaking. I might write a little patch for it.
