I dont think I should accept the solution until I test it but I am sure you know a lot more than me and are correct.
At least I know I am not a complete fool, just mostly a fool.
Once I saw the /32 I thought that would be the issue.
When I initially made the changes I fatfingered it and had to correct, in correcting I made it a /32.
Since I have another /29 address available I will try the proxy-arp with those and see how that works.
Much appreciated.
