Got a question, hope someone can shed some light.

Got a client with CheckPoint NG-AI running on Red Hat 7.3 (kernel
2.4.18-5smp)

Trying to setup a specific NAT out one interface only for one destination,
but I can't get the Firewall to answer the ARP requests from the router.

<firewall>  ---<crossover cable>--  <Cisco 1720>  --  T1

External Firewall IP is 192.168.0.2
Facing side of Router is 192.168.0.5
Trying to Hide NAT behind 192.168.0.9.

ARP -a:

? (192.168.0.9) at * PERM PUP on eth2

Command used to add ARP:

arp -v -n -i eth2 -s 192.168.0.9 00:E0:81:23:39:47 pub

verified that /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth2/proxy_arp is set to 1

When the session initiates, here's what I see on the
tcpdump -i eth2

21:00:32.492308 arp who-has 192.168.0.5 tell 192.168.0.2

21:00:32.493096 arp reply 192.168.0.5 is-at 0:9:7c:a3:a5:fd
21:00:32.493126 172.20.17.21.1760 > poly4.siteremoved.com.http: S
3536652485:3536652485(0) win 64240 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK> (DF)
21:00:32.803609 arp who-has 192.168.0.9 tell 192.168.0.5
21:00:35.477799 172.20.17.21.1760 > poly4.siteremoved.com.http: S
3536652485:3536652485(0) win 64240 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK> (DF)
21:00:35.788166 arp who-has 192.168.0.9 tell 192.168.0.5

Notice how the who-has 192.168.0.9 never get answered.. on the router (which
I don't control) show arp says "incomplete" for 192.168.0.9.  We can't add a
static ARP on the router (politics, ya know)

Hope someone can shed some light on this...

And of course, we're using manual nat since this nat goes out the
non-internet interface,
and the local net is automatic hide-natted through the internet interface
(different ip
than this connection)

Thanks
Scott
