HI,
I've got a proxy arp setup with iptables and tc.

on eth0 i have a route to 172.16.2.0/24 network
on eth1 is the LAN of 172.16.1.0/24 network

I have enabled proxy arp on both interfaces.
Now accordingly, the interface will respond
to all ARP requests for which it has a route to.

Noy my setup is such, that a user on the LAN,
would like to have an ip from the 172.16.2.0/24 network.

But unfortunately, when he tries to allocate an
ip like 172.16.2.1 he gets an ip conflict.

I also know why he is getting it!
But is there any way out of this??

Something like, tell the linux server to respond for
ARP requests for the 172.16.2.0/24 network but at the
same time if a machine is trying to use an ip for itself,
then it should not respond.

Help!
