Yes, it is always the case. For proxy entries hw addr is undefined
i.e. it is always mac address of interface on which proxy arp reply
is sent.

You should have some route to make proxy arp.

If you have no route proxy arp will not work in 2.0 with the same success 8)

Beware: "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp" will work,
but it is dangerous with shaper. If shaper is attached to device,
on which proxy arp is enabled, both router and target host
(routed via shaper) will answer arp.
"arp" utility is more safe in this case, btw I think
your one does not work, becuase it is outdated.
Also, you could use cbq instead.
