No, MAC address for that host isn't in the table ... with "debug arp" I
see the arp request being sent out on the appropriate VLAN, I see the
arp request coming in to switch A. No answer. Did a test from a
different place in the net (WAN), doing a ping to a once again unknown
IP (unknown to the router that the ping comes through), again I see the
arq requests being generated by the router, but no answer ...

I assume that the cause is somewhere in the Linksys, haven't had any
luck locating any useful information on the issue in neither the docs
nor the FAQs or google ...
