yah, i found that part and tweaked arp(8) (and the man page) to allow
me to enter proxy arp addresses on arbitrary interfaces. the
"permanent publish (export only)" aspect of it is the useful bit.
# arp
usage: arp [-n] hostname
usage: arp [-n] -a
usage: arp -d [-a|hostname] [proxy]
usage: arp -s [-i interface] hostname ether_addr [temp] [pub] [proxy]
usage: arp -f filename
