What exactly is the target of it? Just refresh the timer for arp entries? Why don't just ask the kernel arp table if it knows something bout the mac-address?
Every change should be pushed through the network by ne node which detected a new client, don't it?
Best regards

You have to snoop the traffic anyway and search in the dat cache for each(?) packet. And the DAT cache is distributed. So why would it avoid the performance implications?
