What I had exepected to find was not for the requested IP in an ARP request
to be compared against all IPs on the host, but instead only against any IPs
bound to the interface that the packet was recieved on.
I did question some people about it, but perhaps I'll go do some testing on
other OSs to see how they behave in this strange situation.
Thanks for the feedback,

Err.. Do you, per chance, have both network cards running on the same
network, with the same network address, and a netmask which will allow
them to listen to the same ARP requests? If so, how could they do
anything different than you describe?
Cheers,
Dick Johnson
