If the route used for forwarding was a route to a host or a route to a subnet, a host redirect is used, otherwise a network redirect is sent. The generation of redirects may be disabled by a configuration option, IPSENDREDIRECTS=0. As Chuck notes, the "proxy arp" code is widely available and easy to install; one place is from ut-sally in pub/subarp or subarp.shar.
