This is the Auto-Proxy Arp feature. Your box will now answer on all
interfaces to arp rewquests for networks on other interfaces. This is a
auto-arp feature, so you dont need the below call:

Recent Linux Kernels do not allow to specify a MAC Address. The simply will
ignore it and use it's own default Address of the responding interface. If
you want to anwer ARP Requests for other hosts you need to use a user-mode
arpd.
