Description:
CONFIG_ARPD is required for some of the advanced features of OpenNHRP to work properly. The feature is very small and has already been incorporated by a few other distros (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502844 & http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5709). I have tested the option enabled in my own AUR build of the kernel with no issues.
This task depends upon

Seems like more of a server oriented feature, and I notice that we don't even have opennhrp packaged or posted in the AUR. How widely do you expect this feature to be used that it would make sense for Arch to enable it as a distro?

I didn't feel that it added any relevance to the feature request discussion to suggest that I would be adding opennhrp to the AUR.

I wouldn't consider the feature to be extremely useful to the average user, however to any user who finds mrouted and CONFIG_IP_MROUTE useful, it might be a nice feature to have available.
