*>> So, is there a clear rule about how we should do it?*

its not about rule, its all about the effectiveness of your implementation.
Its always a better implementation, to update a ARP table, as and when the
packets come. But u dont pass it on to the IP layer,since the destination IP
address is different.

There is always a possibility of exchanging the messages within the sub-net.
This method saves one ARP query when needed. Hope  you got the idea.
