Hi. I have a problem with proxy-arp entries. If I add an arp-entry: arp -s $hostip $routermac permanent pub only the router sends an arp and replies to it's own arp like: 15:40:02.074419 arp who-has $hostip tell $hostip 15:40:02.074663 arp reply $hostip is-at $routermac (oui Unknown) This is a problem because some clients interpret this as an ip-address conflict. In my case the router answers for arp on a bridge where all clients have their own member-interface and clients are prohibited to talk directly to each other. Have I completely misunderstood the proxy-arp function? IMHO the router should only answer to arp for $hostip to other clients than the one that actually have the ip-address. //Jon
