Well, subnet is the only thing that is important for OSPF, so I am not sure if proxy arp will work. But I think hopefully it should do the trick, because IP 10.0.0.2 is only for management, proxy arp is transparent to both router1 and router2. It should work as is. However I have not tested it myself, it is just an assumption. -- Dovydas Sankauskas _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
