The African-American community has been slow to get on the gay rights bandwagon, at least according to exit polls conducted on election days in states like California where the narrow defeat of same-sex marriage in 2008 was blamed on black folks. What’s up with that? After all, one would expect blacks, as the long-suffering victims of segregation and discrimination, including miscegenation laws forbidding race-mixing, to be quick to support LBGT equality.

But that hasn’t been the case according to “The New Black,” an eye-opening documentary directed by Yoruba Richen. The film follows the recent effort of African-American activists to rally support for Proposition 6, a Maryland same-sex referendum. This was to be no mean feat, given the way that the Black Church has dragged its feet in terms of.210. The server also has a few jails on it, each with a public IP.

The basic problem is that the router receives ARP information from Verizon's upstream (a Juniper router) for all of the IPs on that server. So, for instance, the ARP entry on my router for .210 will be Verizon's MAC address, not my server's lagg0 interface. They're on the same (bridged) VLAN, but for some reason the router hears it from VZ and ignores it from the server.

From a machine on the private VLAN (note the green network in the diagram), I telnet to xx.yy.zz.215 port 80, because it's a jail running apache. The first one succeeds:

I'm kind of lost here. The work-around for now is a series of static ARP entries on the router
