Die proxy arp die. (and that's not German).
I've had a job or consulting gig or two that has inadvertently had this as t=
he hidden glue making things work.=20
(wha, you can't route that subnet out an Ethernet interface without a next h=
op? It's always worked....)
I fight with sysadmins to this day about the concept of a broadcast domain a=
nd subnet... If I hear another case of someone saying that switch is the "80=
" subnet when there are 3 co-existing /24s in that domain I may go crazy....=
I've cleaned up a lot of poor host and network management and it's amazing h=
ow much a difference the hardware operates without the hacks. =20
