Cool...... that makes sense..... at first, I was going through my thought processes saying "If it's routing a packet (sending a frame) out the ethernet interface what Layer 2 destination address is it using?" That's why I was speculating that it was perhaps a L2 broadcast.... but it makes sense that it would ARP for the dest. IP and then a router on the multi-access could respond via proxy-arp, etc......
