We recently discovered a bug in our Apollo code - if you have IP disabled
on an interface, ARP gets turned off (sort of) causing Apollo not to work.
If this is your situation, you can work around the problem by assigning
an IP address to each interface running apollo - you don't actually have to
turn on an IP routing algorithm or use IP, so they don't have to be REAL
IP addresses..

As far as I know, ARP is on by default in Domain 10.3.  Turning on "debug
arp" on the cisco might show some activity (along with "debug apollo", if
you haven't tried that yet).  However, Apollo systems rarely end up ARPing
for the routers - they pick up thenecessary information by snooping on
the routing updates.
