Scott, One method to detect duplicate IPs is to use SNMP to query your routers every 4 hours for the ARP entries. (ARP times out every 4 hours in a cisco router) We use the CMU snmp package to do the queries. Then put the info into a database and query the database for duplicates. We have a system like this with a web interface and also some scripts that scan ths database daily for duplicates and e-mails notices to people in charge of the relevant subnet. The code is somewhat rough, so I do not want to offer it to the net-at-large. If you can not find a polished product, e-mail me and I'll share more aobut this solution. Art.

Alittle off subject but does anyone out there know of some SW that detects duplicate IP addresses?
