So, router2 can't use proxy ARP. > Wrong, at least for router2: ip neigh add proxy <remote host ip> dev <device to main network> This will not work for router1 since this command does not accept subnets (at least not at first try; there seems to be a trick to do it in kernel 2.0, cf. the IP command reference). But if I understood you right, then adding a route to remote host for 10.0.0.0/8 should be possible, right?
