Hopefully it no longer says otherwise; I've substantially expanded the 
description of how it's used in the four cases given in the article, to 
make it clearer how it works and make it clearer that it is, in fact, 
specific to the local network (well, except for some uses of Proxy ARP:

and other specialized cases).
