Proxy ARP

Proxy ARP [IP Addressing Services] - Cisco Systems

Proxy arp is a stupid feature that is only a band-aid to fix poorly designed or misconfigured networks and should be avoided at all cost.

It is a shame that Cisco's default is still to have proxy arp on. :(



Full discolsure: OneNet probably has proxy arp on some of it interfaces. But I still blame Cisco, it is hard to work against a default ;)
