Problem/Request

Not sure how best to solve this issue, but...

I have sites that connect, layer 2, to another "head end" site. When I organize these sites in mactrack/cacti/etc. I organize them by physical location (what I believe to be best practice). Anyway, the problem with mactrack is that the collective MAC address tables of the layer 2 site, do not get associated with the ARP table of the "head end" router, do to the fact they are associated with different sites. For now, I am just duplicating the router, and putting it in each site it serves - but I wonder if their might be a better solution (programmatic solution). I would like to see the IP to MAC association be divorced from the site - but I would like to know what you think. Thanks,
