The next two commands were run in parallel in two different terminals,
but on the same machine:

# tcpdump -eqtnni eth0 arp
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

The incorrect response is coming from 00:14:22:b0:5e:80 which
is the old server.

Madness!
