Is proxy ARP on by default on PIX firewalls? I've got a PIX 525. Is there a way I can tell if it is or not?

I believe it is on by default. Looking at my firewalls (6.3 versions) it looks to be on.
Excerpt from Cisco doc:--
Check to see if proxy ARP is disabled. Issue the command show running-config sysopt in PIX/ASA 7.x or show sysopt in PIX 6.x.
Here proxy ARP is disabled by the command sysopt noproxyarp outside:
ciscoasa#show running-config sysopt
no sysopt connection timewait
sysopt connection tcpmss 1380
sysopt connection tcpmss minimum 0
no sysopt nodnsalias inbound
no sysopt nodnsalias outbound
no sysopt radius ignore-secret
sysopt noproxyarp outside
sysopt connection permit-vpn
In order to re-enable proxy ARP, enter this command in global configuration mode:
ciscoasa(config)#no sysopt noproxyarp outside
When i checked my firewalls there was no
sysopt noproxyarp "interface" statements so i'm assuming this means it is on by default.

sh run, if you see "sysopt noproxyarp inside"
proxy arp is disabled. if you don't see it, it is enabled. Default is enabled.
