Yasmena,

You're saying that the FWSM is doing proxy ARPing for hosts on same vlan?

Possibly a misconfig but maybe this will help:

To add to Marcin's comment.

The FWSM will proxyarp with its MAC for every ip address that it is translating.

So that could be why you see if show up, because it is arp-replying for all the global ip addresses that he owns.

Check your static and nat statements.

I hope it helps.
