That's sick, this way you don't have a strict separation
between 2 lans and the router arps in both segments.
Two have a real "broadcast firewall" you should avoid proxy arp.
Figure out, you want to get the hosts in a segment and ping
to the broadcast address. In a normal routed segment without
proxy-arp you only the the station answering, which are in
the segment.
Turning on proxy arp you also get answers from machines from
other connected lans...
I'd avoid that !
