I think there was always interest in this problem.  There were several
solutions posted earlier (prior to ARMD being chartered), but since
the charter excluded solutions, all of the solutions went away.

We have at least 2 other proposals that I'm aware of:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/armd/current/msg00176.html
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-shah-armd-arp-reduction

It is possible that some of the work on directory-based
address resolution/mapping will make having a solution
in this space less important, but how that pans out and
how well it scales, etc. is still to be seen.
