Automatic Proxy ARP
When using static NAT, the cluster can be configured to automatically recognize the hosts hidden behind it, and issue ARP replies with the cluster MAC, on their behalf. This process is known as Automatic Proxy ARP. If you use different subnets for the cluster IPs, this mechanism will not work, and you must configure the proxy ARP manually. This is done by creating a file called local.arp, under the firewall's configuration directory ($FWDIR/conf). In SmartDashboard, uncheck Automatic proxy
arp.
Each entry in this file is a triplet, containing the:
• host address to be published
• MAC address that needs to be associated with the IP address
• unique IP of the interface that responds to the ARP request.
The MAC address that should be used is the cluster's multicast MAC defined on the responding interface, when using multicast LS, or this interface's unique IP, for all other
modes.
For example, if host 172.16.4.3 is to be hidden using the address 172.16.6.25, and the cluster uses Load Sharing Multicast mode, add the following line to the local.arp file
of Member 1:
172.16.6.25 00:01:5e:10:06:64 192.168.1.1
The second parameter in this line is the multicast MAC address of cluster IP 172.16.6.100, through which ARP requests for 172.16.6.25 will be received. On
Member 2, this line will be:
172.16.6.25 00:01:5e:10:06:64 192.168.1.2
If the cluster is in unicast LS mode, or in HA mode, the entries on Member 1 and 2
will be:
172.16.6.25 00:A0:C9:E8:C7:7F 192.168.1.1
- And -
172.16.6.25 00:A0:C9:E8:CB:3D 192.168.1.2
where the second entry in each line is the unique MAC address of the matching local
interface.

as is in the manual...

thanks for the response.
I'll check if this works ,because I had some troubles to have it run properly.
on secureplatform, do you need to modify the /etc/sysctl.conf also ?

cheers
