          Hello, realize this is an older thread but looking to gain insight on the subject as well.

          I have a /26 public IP block, and currently use ProxyARP and 1:1 NAT to route traffic to Hyper-V VMs/web servers. I'll be adding subnets using VLANs to further isolate some new VMs. Is there any reason I should be using IP Aliases instead, or is ProxyARP fine for this application?

          Thanks for any enlightenment!
