The Arp cache in BSD (at least 4.2) is aged, but not quite the way you
need if you're going to be changing things around a lot. Entries stay
in the cache as long as they're being used. So if you have some
process retrying a connection to a given address with a retry time
less than the cache timeout, it will never time out, even if the entry
no longer points anywhere useful. Entries should time out eventually
whether they're being used or not.
