I'm confused about how the proxyarp function should behave when its is working. Hopefully someone can help clear this up...
I have a dsl with 5 static ips (x.x.x.208/29) and a few servers to run behind Bering-ucubic. I was under the impression that on the external interface (dsl) the firewall would respond to requests for the adddresses of the servers (x.x.x.210, .211, .212) and on the internal interface it would proxy everything other than the local machines (eg the external world) However it appears that it is also proxying on the internal interface as well. This shows up a couple of ways. First off I get a duplicate ip address warning if i boot the servers after the firewall. Second when I ping from one server to another server (which might assume would not involve the firewall) it doesn't work right and arp -a show the mac address of the other server as the mac address of the firewall (stated another way if I ping another server and then the firewall both address in the arp table are the same) I'm using the shorewall/proxyarp to individually list each server, proxyarp is not set in shorewall/interfaces file. the servers are configured to using the same info that they would have without the firewall. If there are any files that would assist in figuring this out let me know My basic problem is that I haven't found any information on how proxyArp is black box and I haven't been able to figure it out yet...
