Does running CHGTCPDMN also clear this? I thought I heard it does.

Years ago I came across a program to clear the ARP cache on IBM i. Try as
I might, I can't even find an article on it. The reason we have to clear
the ARP is after one of 5 partitions switch from prod to HA, the other four
partitions ignore DNS and still try to communicate with the prod IP
address, which due the switch has changed. I cleared the ARP cache using
the old iNavigator, but since iNavigator will be going away, and we would
like to automate the process, I need a program.

Anyone have this little gem?
