I am curious what other methods will work for what I am trying to do if there are indeed no "who-has" requests being made on the network. Is the kernel in Bering uClibc compiled with the necessary patches to use the bridging features of shorewall?
If the appropriate arp requests are not showing up on your network, you have a basic configuration problem. There should be no need to work around the missing requests, rather you would fix whatever configuration error is causing the requests to never be generated in the first place.
Charles is correct in this. To get help at this level, you really need to be more specific about the hosts you are testing connectivity *from*. Specifically, tell us the IP address of each host you test from, -AND- whether it is connected physically to the LEAF router's external network or on the "other side" of that network's gateway.
You **could** be seeing a routing problem in either the test host you are ping'ing from, or in either of the hosts you are putting on the LAN (what you call the DMZ, but what looks to me like a standard internal network).
On the external physical network (Ethernet, in your case), how does a host on the 138.23.75.0/24 IP network communicate with a host on the 138.23.76.0/24 IP network? Do all hosts have routing tables that cover both IP networks, or does this sort of traffic go through a gateway?
As you've noted, combining two separate /24 IP networks (by "separate" I mean they cannot be combined into a /23) on the same physical network (Ethernet) is a bit unusual. Opportunities for configuration errors abound. You shouldn't assume, at this point, that the configuration of the LEAF router is the source of your problem.
