0000875: do reverse arp when iplog can't help you
Because of today's aruba bug, I thought of an enhancement.

Right now when we lookup for a MAC based on an IP (ip2mac), we:
- check iplog
- if it's not there we do an ARP request

For the opposite (mac2ip) we:
- check iplog
- cry like a baby

why not have reverse arp if iplog can't help us?

Net::Frame (that we already use) can probably help. Google for Net::Frame::Arp

Also, the reverse arp could be done on a node lookup too. :)
No tags attached.
