I've successfully used linux with proxyarp to bridge a
class C network that is split into two subnets.
That is, two ethernet interfaces and two sets of hosts to bridge.
In this case the intersection between the host sets is empty and
things work. However, if there are THREE interfaces you cannot speak
about emtpy intersections and linux does not seem to get it right.
EVEN though the routes are properly setup before setting
up the arp table.
Does anyone have an example?
I need to use proxyarp to avoid changing IP-addresses all over
the place so I might do a QUICK hack on this.
However, I've not looked into the complexity and I've got little
time so don't hold your breath.
(If anything ever materializes on this from me it will
probably be a mega hack - presumably specialcased based
on the split into 3 assumption.)
