NO!  That is not the purpose of proxyarp!  You must use NATD to do
what you're trying to do.

And never will.

You're barking up the wrong tree trying to do network address
translation (NAT) by using proxyarp.

I use proxyarp to make some of my downstream modem clients look like
they're on my local ethernet, so they can use static IP addresses
which belong to my ethernet network number.  That's one purpose of
proxyarp, but it has nothing to do with network address translation
where 192.168.x.x hosts are allowed to talk on the Internet.
