  The error message is correct.  Your current ARP table does not
  contain an entry for 10.1.1.179.  The "-S" tries to delete that
  entry first and cannot find it, so gives the error.

  Since you added a host route, you need to supply the keyword
  "only" when adding a proxy-arp entry. As in

  "arp -S 10.1.1.179 0:e:42:2:0:42 pub only"
