Cisco PIX's used to do this if the firewall had a route and saw a ARP request in that IP range it would proxy arp.

This is where theory diverges nicely from practice. In some cases the
offender broadcast his reply, and guess what else? A lot of routers
listen to unsolicited ARP replies.

I've never seen this.  Please name vendor and product, if only so other
subscribers to this list can avoid doing business with them.

This was some time ago, but the two I was able to dig up from that case were
both Junipers. Perhaps it’s something that only happens when proxy ARP is
enabled?
