This is one of the things I'm ranting about. A configuration like this
can only work if the next-hop router does proxy-arp - and thus it will
go undetected for a while, cause bad performance, high CPU load, and
lots of unnecessary broadcast traffic on the LAN.
Without proxy-arp on-by-default, this configuration would not work, and
so the admin would need to think about what he's doing.
