You might want to explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish in more 
detail: as in "Why?"

ARP resolution of the MAC to the actual IP will only work if you are on the 
same subnet as the host--otherwise you'll get the default gateway's MAC when 
resolving the IP address.  Given that, if the host *is* on the same subnet, 
and you want to reach it, it doesn't really matter what IP address is bound 
to the adapter-- you can just add a static ARP entry on the local system to 
assign the MAC to whatever "in-network" IP you want, whether it's the "real" 
IP or not...
