just to clarify..if you click proxy arp.. then carp.. and then back to proxy
arp again.. I didn't add a CARP vip just was poking around prior to actually
adding the proxy arp vip.  I don't know much about networking so when
presented with the cidr drop down I set it to the same as the wan
interface's cidr initially.
