[LARTC] [HELP] Proxy ARP & OSPF

Hi,

The network topo looks like this:

the original network:
router1                        router2
 |                                     |
 |----------------OSPF------------|

the target network: (we need to insert a transparent firewall between
these 2 routers, so a proxy arp is set up on firewall to bridge
router1 and router2)

router1           firewall            router2
 |                    |    |                 |
 |------OSPF-----|    |---OSPF-----|
10.0.0.1       10.0.0.2         10.0.0.4

my question is: is an osfpd required on firewall to allow ospf traffic
to pass through? or proxy arp has done this job already?

thanks very much!
