perhaps this is a poor word choice or you are just not adequately
describing but a proxy server is software like say squid. It sounds more
like you have 2 servers that 'masquerade' for computers on the
192.168.8.0 network to everything on the Internet. If that is the case,
then these computers would be 'routers' and not proxy servers. There is
a difference between a router and a proxy server (though a computer
could be both a router and a proxy server).

not RSA, maybe something else. Can the LDAP server provide
authentication to user logins on localhost? All services?

arp tables are automatic...no reason to try to change them.

first I start on the primary LDAP server itself...

ssh some_user at localhost

can this person log in?

then from another computer on the LAN (192.168.8.0/24) can this same
user login?

ssh some_user at 192.168.8.?

if not, perhaps firewall is blocking.

Nothing you are describing so far indicates a problem with DNS or ARP
tables. When you are troubleshooting, turn up your log levels so you get
more detail in your logs.
