Once upon a time Tim Tsai shaped the electrons to say...

Is that static IP in a different network than the ethernets? If not, then
OSPF isn't plaing a role- Proxy-ARP is. And Cisco's have long ARP timeouts
by default, so the Cisco will keep seeing ts1 as having it. But ts1 knows
ts2 has it, so it forwards the packet.

If the static IP is indeed in a unique network, then OSPF should handle this
very rapidly.
