Unless I've misunderstood something, this won't work. If a machine on
the LAN tries to reach one of the virtual machines (which is on a
different subnet) it won't send out an ARP request for the IP in
question, but just stick the MAC address of the the gateway onto the
packet and let the gateway deal with it. AIUI proxy ARP is for when you
have a subnet that's physically separated in which case the bridge will
need to proxy the arp requests for hosts on the one side to hosts on the
other side (and vice versa, obviously).
