Just noticed that 2.0 had this fixed. I red the link on my mobile and my
eyes hurt reading that table. It seems propper alias is there and that
means proxy-arp should no longer be used as it was done as a workaround for
the missing alias functionality.

Then I think Brian is right regarding the mac/arp timeout. And if so a
reboot of pfsense and router/modem should clear that up quickly. If the
modem is a true bridge then you might have to wait for the uplink router to
update its arp table. I have had issues with that in the past.
