        A cisco router with the default (ip proxy-arp) enabled on the interface will spend all its time doing arp/proxy-arp for the hosts and it will actually work believe it or not.
I spent quite a few cycles trying to convince Cisco that changing this default in the next major release is a very good idea. Unfortunately I failed. Pete
