Do you have any sort of default gateway set on the 2960G? (ip default-gateway blah).
The only time I've seen this on a L2 switch is when it doesn't have any L3 routing information, and as a result is just broadcasts an arp for everything remote, and the router answers via proxy-arp (@#$!*& Cisco and probably every other vendor for not making "no ip proxy-arp" a default on interfaces IMO) leaving all the remote IP entries with the local router's mac address in the arp cache. It does beg the question though why it's looking for all those IP's in the first place, though I suspect you need to answer that one anyway :).
