usualy arp is only used by your LAN workstations to find the hardware
address of the default gateway. the Default Gateway is then doing NAT on IP
level. You could also use a System which is transparent to the Workstatons
(because they dont need to add/change the default gateway entry, but the
proxy arp which is used there is not a nice solution on the network level
(the ip level isnt affected by it).
