[pgpool-hackers: 1945] Re: Fixing the arping usage

[Tatsuo Ishii]

Antonio,

Thank you very much for the patch. For me your patch seems good but I
would like to confirm developers who are in charge of the watchdog
part.  I would like to get at least an approval from one of them
before applying the patch.

Usama,
Yugo,

What do you think?

Best regards,
