I have had some success applying the hidden patch to the 7.2 kernel.
However, my understanding is that the prefered mettod of getting
around the ARP problem is to use iptables with a REDIRECT target.
This requires a patch to the 2.4 kernel, however it would seem
that the 7.3 kernel has this patch.

A discussion of this can be found on the mailing list archive.
