Err.. arp is always compiled into the kernel. If you are talking
about the proxyarp option, you probably don't want that, as that is
for automatic arp proxy. You only need manual arp publishing via "arp".

You don't need to add this route. ifconfig adds this for you.

You don't really need either gated, and routed to do this. In fact,
it just makes it more complicated.

Can the slip server ping outside hosts? Can it ping the DNS server?
