Stephan,

You were absolutely correct. I added an alias IP address to my:

from man hostname.if

/etc/hostname.dc1
inet 24.227.114.130 255.255.255.252 NONE
inet alias 10.111.74.254 255.255.255.0 NONE

arp -a | grep dc1
? (10.111.74.196) at 00:02:cf:09:bf:ce on dc1
rrcs-se-24-227-114-129.biz.rr.com (24.227.114.129) at 00:02:cf:09:bf:c9 on dc1

and now there are no more "/bsd: arplookup:" entries in my logs. I
apprecaite all the help from everyone, Thanks very much.
