I need to find all the arp-cache entries on the remote (server) host so that
the local host (connected to the internet) can proxy-arp them. If there is
another way, please advise. The daemons setup and tear down the routing and
proxy-arp automatically as my remote machines come on-line. I use ioctls to
set up and tear down everything, but there isn't a documentated way to
find out what is in the arp cache except for /proc/net/arp!
