Yes, that does work using proxyarp as long as the addresses are on  
the same
subnet.  But what if they're not?  Can NetBSD still do it? If I try  
to set a
public interface NetBSD apparently claims it lacks intuition (though  
FreeBSD
folks say this is typo, it makes sense):

Where 'xx:xx..' is the actual hardware ethernet address of the public  
interface.

So can NetBSD do this or would it only be able to do it for a 'real'  
ip address?
