It works and has been working for a very long time. You may have failed
to turn it ON

echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/proxy_arp
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/proxy_arp

FYI I use proxy-arp every night.
