Thanks.  I was looking to see if anyone has had problems running this
way (multiple apps talking to one another addressing messages to aliases
for other apps on the same machine).  The arp requests just caught me
off guard as I wouldn't have expected them since the IP address is on
the same interface.  Anyway, thanks for the input.
