Well, you can't just enable forwarding, you have to use iptables to do
NAT as well. In fact, proxy-arp ended up being simpler in many ways (eg,
keystrokes :)

The other reason is that originally I did use forwarding, but certain
types of connection just didn't work reliably, ssh and vnc especially.
And so this whole saga began.
