Okay, it does Proxy ARP.  My error.  I have multiple addresses I need to
NAT through this.

It is a block of 8 IPs from Qwest and I can use 5 for me and one is the
gateway.  The others are the network and the b-cast as usual.

I have tried CARP and before that 'Other'.

I only have the one pfSense firewall.

If it truly says "Web Proxy", you didn't get an official release from
us!  It should read, CARP, Proxy ARP, and Other.

I've explained the differences before, but I'll do it again here.

CARP is primarily used for high availability when you have multiple
firewalls in a cluster.  With that said I recommend it over proxy arp
as if you ever go to a cluster config you'll have to convert anyway.

Proxy ARP is primarily for when you have a single firewall and
multiple addresses that need to be NAT'd through it.

"Other" is for when you have a subnet routed to your firewall - ie.
not the same subnet the firewall is on usually (although with PPPoE it
may be).  The IPs are always seen at your firewall and you just need
pfSense to recognize that it should allow you to do something with
them.
