Stefan,
A good book about this behavior is Zinin's book.

Subject: ARP strange behaviour
Hello guys!
In a book I have read the following text:
"
If you specify in the ASA static route the destination ip address - the ip
address of one of the security appliance interfaces as the gatway address
the security appliance broadcasts an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
request for the MAC address of the destination IP address in the packet
instead of broadcasting a request for the MAC address of the gateway IP
address".
I think it's strange. Do the routers behave also always so?? I thought that
the device always sends the ARP request for resolution of destination IP
address and than through proxyarp receives the MAC of the nexthop router.
But I am absolutely not sure that it can happen so that the device sends the
ARP request (even in some particular case) not for the destination IP but
directly for the IP address of the nexthop router. Could you confirm this or
tell me that my suspicions are wright...??
Thank you for any clarification on this.
