Ooops. Sorry for implying the explantion was for you. I knew you know 
how to do it. I hadn't sent arps external in years and forgot how to do 
it myself. Prompted by your post, I reconstructed the steps and wrote 
them down--just so they would be available here. (That's why I renamed 
the topic; so that it would be found in a search using the words arp 
and external.)
