I've been using proxy ARP on FreeBSD between 4.x and 6.2 without problems
(though I think I skipped 6.1).

Which interface is being dumped and what does 'ifconfig vr0' show?
If you are dumping the rl0 interface then my suspicion is that the
subnet on 205.x.x.1 is wrong:  205.x.x.193 is not the same subnet
as 205.x.x.1/25 so 205.x.x.1 should not be doing ARP requests for
it, it should be accessing it via a gateway (router).

As a computing professional, I believe it would be unethical for me to
advise, recommend, or support the use (save possibly for personal
amusement) of any product that is or depends on any Microsoft product.
