i believe that only the 3000 is like this. i thought that the 9000
could speak this "special IP" to act as a gateway. i was also under the
impression that it wasnt even "real" ehternet based IP they were using,
they didnt use ARP or something. 

i am sure someone from HP will set us all straight, though . . . .
