It seems the proxy ARP feature is activated for wrong route. See the following URL and try to differentiate your devices by the medium they are attached to. Then your router will know that the target host can see the broadcast probes and will not reply for them. For this to work, you need correct routes. The problem can be that the proxy_arp feature does not know that two devices are attached to same medium and the ARP reply should not be generated. http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/~julian/#medium_id As I can't fully understand your settings, if you have some questions, please provide some settings. And of course, the main thing: how many distinct mediums you have. Read medium_id.txt for more information. Regards -- Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>
