Hrm...wouldn't that be a bug in arping program?
How can one get "-1" responses?

And I can't reproduce that here (ia64-linux):

gsyprf3:~# ifconfig ib0
ib0       Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-04-04-FE-80-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  
          inet addr:10.0.0.51  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:2044  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:128 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

gsyprf3:~# arping -c 2 -w 3  -D -I ib0 10.0.0.51
ARPING 10.0.0.51 from 0.0.0.0 ib0

gsyprf3:~# arping -c 2 -w 3  -D -I ib0 10.0.0.55
ARPING 10.0.0.55 from 0.0.0.0 ib0

There is no 10.0.0.55 IP in use on this network.
I don't understand if the above result is correct or not
and I did RTFM.

BTW, I'm using Debian "iputils-arping 20020927-2".
