Currently lisa daemon uses ping and nblookup requests to find hosts on LAN. That will be nice if Lisa could also search for hosts using arping requests. I ask for this because some hosts on my network are fully firewalled (due to security policy) yet they are visible via arping. As a system administrator I need to know whether they are alive or not.
