Are the clients connecting via the same interface which is sending &  
receiving the proxy arps?

Normally, you use proxy-arp'ing to connect NAT'ed IPs to public IPs  
you want to forward the traffic to.  If you are not using NAT, but  
bridging, normally then the clients can ARP for themselves....
