This really isn't very helpful to someone who is trying to understand
what is happening. Perhaps the need for brevity prevented a fuller
answer. But just saying there's a tool, (although I understand your
wish to promote your software) isn't the way to go imo.

Jarle - there are a few things you could do. One of them would be to
distribute a static route using your DHCP server -  implementing
a classless static route if your server supports it would be best. You
would need to put the external iface of the netVM as the gateway to the
internal 10.137.0.0/16 network. This won't be easy with DHCP unless you
put a reservation in place.

Alternatively you use proxy arp on the external interface of the netVM,
as you suggest. You don't need it on the vif interfaces because  you
have the relevant routing information in the netVM. (As you are
connecting qubes directly to the netVM these routes will be set up
automatically. You can check this with 'ip route' - If you DID use a
firewall you would need to add a static route on the netVM with the fw
as gateway to the qubes connected to it.)

It may be that Rudd-0's tool will do this for you. I dont know.
