Although this is ARP, it shouldn't matter what interface it's attached to. You shouldn't have to use arp, what do you need it for? > my problem: > I have to route a few IPs to an internal network.

Especially the ether addr of the local interface! And why would you want to advertise one NIC's ether addr on a separate net? That would be seriously confusing to everyone.
