Well, ARPQuerier actually doesn't take a network address or a mask right
now. Just an IP address to stick into the query.

I agree with Brecht that this is not a very big deal, that the IP address
in the query is probably ignored. If you want this behavior, feel free to
write an element to do it.

Let's see whether this step helps you, especially since your delays are
short.

Your proposed next step is a real step up in complexity and, therefore,
overhead. There are simpler ways that we'd probably try first.
