I tried this on a fbsd box where nmap is installed and the results weren't 
thorough, explained to me that the arp cache wouldn't have every node in it 
if they weren't recently accessed. If that's not right then it's likely my 
misunderstanding.

Thanks this is what I'm looking for as I can awk one of these commands and 
get what I want this way.
