A cisco router with the default (ip proxy-arp) enabled on the interface will spend all its time doing arp/proxy-arp for the hosts and it will actually work believe it or not. I spent quite a few cycles trying to convince Cisco that changing this default in the next major release is a

Proxy arp will still send the data thro the other router tho, the only difference is now router B believes router A to be the destination station. Seems like your worse off than you were before. (Plus I hate proxy arp in non-SOHO environments!) Steve -- Stephen J. Wilcox BSc (Hons), CCNA,

No its not possible to say you can reach the subnet on the same media... IP maps to the [Ethernet] with ARP, but before a packet is passed down to MAC via ARP it is routed and if there is no route to the connected ethernet then it will necessarily need to use the other router. You must have

Aha. So, if you route to a ethernet interface, it will try to arp for that address on that subnet, even without having a local address on the same subnet? This seems to me to be something you don't want to do. Is the entire route valid as long as the router can ARP for one of the addresses
