104Proxy ARP is a feature whereby the local host will respond to requests
105for addresses other than itself, with its own address.
106Normally, proxy ARP in
107.Fx
108is set up on a host-by-host basis using the
109.Xr arp 4
110utility, by adding an entry for each host inside a given subnet for
111which proxying of ARP requests is desired.
112However, the
113.Dq "proxy all"
114feature causes the local host to act as a proxy for
115.Em all
116hosts.
117It may be enabled by setting the
118.Xr sysctl 8
119MIB variable
120.Va net.link.ether.inet.proxyall
121to 1.
103.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
104.Em "arp: %x:%x:%x:%x:%x:%x is using my IP address %d.%d.%d.%d!" :
105ARP has discovered another host on the local network which responds to
106mapping requests for its own Internet address with a different Ethernet
107address, generally indicating that two hosts are attempting to use the
108same Internet address.
