now, assuming the scenario Boril posted, and the commands Nick gave
would result in:

su-2.05# route add default 212.212.212.212
route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
add net default: gateway 212.212.212.212: Network is unreachable

does this actually only work when the router at 212.212.212.212 has
proxy-arp enabled or is there absolutely no relation to proxy-arp
here? i've trying to find out for months now, but no one seems to be
able to answer that question.

there's the microsoft way, there's the linux way, and there's
the right way.
