You're correct.   Due to the nature of the topology, I can't get rid of 
the asymmetric routing at least for now.

The interesting thing, is that SOME macs are learned and some are not.  
Increasing the mac aging helped quite a bit, but there's still a 
problem.

I'm curious if my copp default is limiting ARP.
