Besides from the fact that it is generally a good idea to reduce
the default ARP timeout on the Cisco which is crazy high (4 hours),
what would a "mature proxy ARP implementation" do against it ? Just
broadcast unasked-for ARP IP-is-at-MAC replies ? Would this really
work ? Is other NAS stuff doing it ?

Just interested,
