Could you please try the attached patch? It disallows cloning for
host entries.

Yes, it is currently used for proxy ARP type 1 entries:
# arp -s 192.168.4.200 1:2:3:4:5:6 pub
# netstat -rn | grep 192.168.4.200
192.168.4.200/32 1:2:3:4:5:6 ULS2c 0 0 rl0
The purpose of /32 here is to allow the call to rtalloc1() in arplookup()
to match this route even if the SIN_PROXY flag (proxy ARP type 2; aka
published (proxy only)) is set in the sin_other member of the
sockaddr_inarp structure.
