Please format this properly, put the connecting operators at the end,
not the beginning, of the lines of the if statement, like so:

		if (!isdigit(arp_ip_target[arp_ip_count][0]) ||
		    ip == 0 ||
		    ip == htonl(INADDR_BROADCAST)) {

Where else did you see the layout you used?  It's not a prevalent
construct, so as far as I can tell you came up with it on your own.

Please don't do this, and instead use existing practice as your guide.

Thanks.
