RFC 1127 ("Perspective on host requirements"), section 4, item 2:
Even without proxy ARP, the management dynamics of the IP route
cache interact in subtle ways with transport-layer dynamics;
introducing routing via proxy ARP brings a third protocol layer
into the problem, complicating the inter-layer dynamics still further.
