Subject: Blackhole route not enough for proxy-arp

Hello all,
it seems that a blackhole route is not enough to enable proxy arp for
the routing target.
I tried
ip route add blackhole 192.168.66.3/32
and
ip route add 192.168.66.3/32 dev lo

arping failed with the blackhole route but got responses with the
route through the loopback interface.
Is this behaviour a bug or a feature?

Joerg
