dynamic arp inspection and arp traffics

Hi everybody

Does Dynamic arp inspection only provide protection against faked gratuitous arp reply by checking gratuitous reply against dhcp binding Or  it also provides protection against all fake arp traffic by checking all arp traffic against dhcp binding?

Example.

H1 ----f1/1SW------Dhcp server

H2 ----f1/2

H1 mac address is mac1, and dhcp assigned ip address 199.199.199.1

H2 mac address is mac 2 and dhcp assigned ip address 199.199.199.2

Sw has following dhcp bindings

mac 1  199.199.199.1 f1/1 vlan 1

mac2 199.199.199.2   f1/2 vlan1

Let say a hacker connects its desktop to sw at f1/3.  H1 needs to communicate with h2 but h1's arp table  has no entry for 199.199.199.2 ( aged out).

As a result, H1 has to send  arp broadcast request for 199.199.199.2 . The question is :if hacker crafts a fake arp reply with its own mac address i.e

mac3  199.199.199.2  ( where mac3 is the mac address of hacker's desktop),  will dynamic arp inspection will check that arp reply against the dhcp bindings?

Thanks .
