(PM) IP pool addr routing question

If I send a packet to an address from the PM pool and this
address is not in use, the packet is sent back to router
via default gateway and the router sends it back to PM,
PM back to the router, .........

It seems to me that this was discussed in the past but
I did not find it in the archive: How can I avoid it ?

Note: Not very long ago I had both the IP pool and the
ethernet port on the same C network, so the PM was
doing proxy ARP and if I remember it correctly there
was no such packet ping-pong.

Thanks,
