Hi,

Why should you declare an ARP entry for a network you don't have an interface 
connected with ??

The example was :

Interface eth0: 200.50.1.2
Proxy ARP on this interface (eth0) but for IP: 200.0.0.1

If you want to NAT the 200.0.0.1, you can directly add the nat entry in the checkpoint 
rulebase.
Any     200.0.0.1               any port        nated to        original        
nat_destination original port

There won't be any arp request to 200.0.0.1.

I'm using this config for some years without a problem.

NF
