.Em "arp: ether address is broadcast for IP address %d.%d.%d.%d!" :
ARP requested information for a host, and received an answer indicating
that the host's ethernet address is the ethernet broadcast address.
This indicates a misconfigured or broken device.

.Em "arp: %d.%d.%d.%d moved from %x:%x:%x:%x:%x:%x to %x:%x:%x:%x:%x:%x" :
ARP had a cached value for the ethernet address of the referenced host,
but received a reply indicating that the host is at a new address. This
can happen normally when host hardware addresses change, or when a mobile
node arrives or leaves the local subnet. It can also indicate a problem
with proxy ARP.

.Em "arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for %d.%d.%d.%d" :
The route for the referenced host points to a device upon which ARP is
required, but ARP was unable to allocate a routing table entry in which
to store the host's MAC address. This usually points to a misconfigured
routing table. It can also occur if the kernel cannot allocate memory.
