94 Chapter 10. Routing 10.8 Proxy ARP Proxy ARP is the process in which one system responds to the ARP request for another system. For example, host A sends an ARP request to resolve the IP address of host B. Instead of Host B, the firewall responds to this ARP request. In essence, Proxy ARP has the same functionality as ARP publish (See 9.6 ARP) The biggest difference here is that you can, in a simple manner, publish entire networks on one or more interfaces at the same time. Another, slightly less significant difference is that the firewall always publishes the addresses as belonging to the firewall itself; it is therefore not possible to publish addresses belonging to other hardware addresses. Note It is only possible to Proxy ARP on a Ethernet and VLAN interfaces. D-Link Firewalls User's Guide
