Proxy ARP
The technique in which one host, usually a router, answers Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests intended for another machine.
By "faking" its identity, the router accepts responsibility for routing packets to the "real" destination. Proxy ARP allows a site to use a single IP address with two physical networks.
Subnetting would normally be a better solution.
