We have asked the devs about this.

Apparently this is the way that CIS is preparing for the move to IP6 - using the MAC not the IP to ease the transition. We are told this is the only viable way.

Therefoe marking resolved, though of course you may debate this if you wish.

Not sure I like it much. Ronny may be able to explain further
