No, I'm using a preconfigured tap device.

I think I may have figured out my problem (sort of).  If I don't fully
configure the tap device on the host side before starting up UML,
everything works fine.  (Which is why it worked before, I think...  I
"fixed" my script after starting up a couple of UMLs.)

To be a little more specific, I'm configuring the UMLs with addresses
on the LAN, then doing proxy arp on the host.  It seems that when
everything is configured properly (at least I think properly), the
host arps on the tap interface, making the UML give me that error.

I'm guessing at all this from the behavior...  I haven't fired up
tcpdump yet, although I probably should.  The simpler solution in my
case though might just be to allocate some non-LAN addresses for the
UMLs and just route to them normally.
