Err, no. I also use proxy arp to get a slip server to "bridge" my home
net to my office net, since the slip server isn't quite configurable
enough to do the right thing, I just have a nearby machine arp all of
my home machines to the slip server's ethernet address. (It does the
right thing once the packets show up :-)
