	Correct.  

>The client can send two replies, 

	If the two InArp replies are in response to a single InArp
	request, RFC 1293 appears to indicate that this is an
	unsupported protocol operation.

	Section 7.2 indicates about a Multi-Addressed host, "If such a
	station receives an InArp request, it must choose one address
	with which to respond."
