Ah, nice link! Can't see why that didn't pop up in my prior searches.

The reason I asked was that a switch configured for VLAN and/or trunking
might still have had your MAC cached and/or been doing odd things with it.
Without putting more into it, I guess it's hard to say. Nothing like the ol'
off switch to fix it right up!

Thanks for the pointer,
