Re: (ASCEND) proxy arp (was firewall probs?)
Would you believe that I did the same thing on one segment of our corporate
LAN once. It was with the original P25, which always did proxy-ARP!
I *have* pleaded the case in the past, but business cases against the change
have so far won out. It is configurable after-all. Maybe I'll recommend that
we add a warning note in the box.....
