I couldn't find how to use it though, all I found was "If set to YES then enable global proxy ARP" in rc.conf(5). Looking for the sysctl variable "net.link.ether.inet.proxyall" didn't reveal much either, nor did reading about related topics such as arp(8), bridge(4) and others. Experimenting with various combinations of "arp -s" and gateway settings was not successfull. As a consequence, I'm sure an ARP proxy can be set up somehow on FreeBSD but I fail to find out how it's done. >How-To-Repeat: Read handbook, FAQ, man pages, and try to find how to make a FreeBSD machine act as a ARP proxy. >Fix: I request that the rc.conf manpage be enhanced for "arpproxy_all", or that a chapter in the handbook be devoted to the arp proxy topic. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
