Why/How would the linux box broadcast it's ARP response to 10.0.0.1 when the IP doesn't belong to the firewall.. it just has a rule saying what to do if the packet arrives to it asking it to forward to that host... ARP is on different IP layer to netfilter.
The rule doesn't make it respond to arp requests.

Thanks,

I get confused because I picture other 10.0.0.0/24 hosts arping for
10.0.0.1 and getting the MAC for linux-router/eth0. How is this not the
case?

Thank you all so much for the help!
