Well, you can clear the ARP cache entries with "arp -d", though I think
that local NIC (and VNIC) configured MACs would have higher priority.
Also, if you notice any flaws in my description of bridging (such
as, perhaps, newer VirtualBox commands to query and set the vHW NIC
parameters) feel free to fix the wiki or post the fixes here :)
