I recently tried to configure a linux box with 3 ethernet cards
as a bridge between 3 networks, e.g., a class C net split on three subnets.
I tried to do this with proxyarp (due to various odd reasons).
Subnet A.B.C.N3

Subnet A.B.C.N1
I was partially successful and failed due to the fact that the
proxyarp handling in linux seems to be non interface specific.
E.g., to solve my problems I find myself needing to add an ethernet
interface as a parameter to the 'arp'-command.
Has anyone ever heard of proxyarp that is interface specific.
(Is this possible with linux? I looked and the answer seems to be no)
I guess this could be solved using subnets ...
