Wouldn't it be a better solution to not reuse IP addresses quickly? If I understood it correctly, they are in a private network anyway, so they could afford it.

- daveloyall 12y agoI thought there was a mechanism that would allow some sort of failure notification packet to make it back to the origin, so that it would then perform a proper ARP lookup WHO HAS 1.2.3.4? TELL 4.3.2.1!. Perhaps AWS is blocking some class of packet?
- X-Istence 12y agoThe issue is that if it is on-network the only real "failure" notification is a time-out. No ICMP packets, nothing are sent back to indicate you are sending to a non-existent IP address.
