Everything about Proxy ARP
Address resolution protocol for proxy servers
Proxy ARP is a technique by which a proxy server on a given network answers the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) queries for an IP address that is not on that network. The proxy is aware of the location of the traffic's destination and offers its own MAC address as the. The traffic directed to the proxy address is then typically routed by the proxy to the intended destination via another interface or via a tunnel. Wikipedia →
