People complain about this all the time, yet it is expected and intentional behavior. Just because you "down" the interface does not mean that addresses assigned to that interface are no longer assosciated with the host system. If you wish the machine not to respond to any of the interface's addresses, you must explicitly delete them from the interface address list. |
