Hi Loe,

Does this patch comes to solve the problem discussed over the "pick the 
outgoing HCA based on the IP used for bind" threads dated to February 
this year at the general and rds-devel mailing lists 
(http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2009-February/057008.html)? 
also by "strict ARP handling" do you refer to the case where there are 
multiple NICs on the same L2 broadcast domain (VLAN/Partition)?

Or.
