Subject: proxy arp bug

RFC 1027 says  "The default route must not be used when checking for a
route to the target host of an ARP request. If the default route were
used, the check would always
   succeed."

    But when i tested ,  linux OS is considering this default route
also. Any configuration parameter needs to be set to make it work
properly or is it the desired behaviour?

Thanks
 Pani
