RE: PPPoFR and "frame-relay inverse-arp"

With PPPoFR, IP is not running directly over Frame Relay anymore (PPP is
between them) so inverse-ARP is not needed. Inverse-ARP is only used
when IP is running directly on top of Frame Relay.

Think about it like this: if you have a GRE tunnel running across a
Frame Relay cloud, would you need a Frame Relay mapping for the IP
addresses inside the GRE tunnel along with the layer 3 to layer 2
mappings used for the IP addresses that are assigned directly to the
Frame Relay interface? The answer is no since the IP addresses inside
the GRE tunnel are running on top of IP. This means you have IP->IP->FR
which is similar to PPPoFR which is IP->PPP->FR.
