I have a FDDI router (DEFPA on the uplink side, fxp0 100 MBit downlink). To avoid another network number on the downlink side I would like to do something that is known as proxy arp in sppp situations where the dialin host becomes part of the dialup hosts ethernet network. Is this possible in general with the configuration I'm describing above? (looking for proxy arp in the Internet (yahoo) reveals that proxy arp is not unproblematic - Linux seems to have problems with this, natd is also a source for problems in that area). -- Chris Christoph P.
