ARP Proxy

hi

i'm not sure, if am right here, so if i am wrong, pleas point me to a source ;-)

how can i reduce arp-broadcasts without routing?

i have physically 2 subnets (500 and 300 clients), logically this is one subnet. my premature/naive idea is, to install a linux-bridge and put arp-proxy on it. as long as the proxy has the correct entry, broadcasts are not propagated. this will reduce arp-broadcasts.

i know, i have to bend alot of principles, but will it work?

cheers
