I have a cisco 1600 router. The arp table feels up quickly causing network down time. These are the router configurations

This is the current setup
Below are a show run and show ARP from the router.

The only address actually assigned to the interface is 68.x.x.x, the .194 and .195 are examples of bogus entries.
The .200 is the Firewall, the .201 and .202 are defined 1 to 1 nat addresses, and the ARP entries are legitamate as the firewall should forward the traffic. If I keep defining nat addresses the ARP will keep filling up in sequence until it overlaps at .200

Other behavior, Ping is working through the router, but other services, such as our Radmin ap that runs on port 4899, is not. This may be my own misconfiguring though, and not related to the ARP problem.

Outbound everything works fine
 
IGRP was created by Cisco, it only runs on Cisco routers. There is no RFC as it was never submitted to the general public for comment. How do you configure IGRP on a Cisco router?First from Global Config mode you enter the command router igrp followed by an autonomous system number, one will do. Then you have to advertise your networks using the network command, just like you do with RIP.How do you verify that IGRP is working?Examine the routing table using the command show ip route, also look for the proper configuration by using the command show running-config. You can also do some debugging and also use the command show ip interface brief to make sure your interfaces are UP and UP.
 
You need to use overload command in your NAT configuration. I don't believe this is an ARP problem. Looks more like you are hitting the proverbial wall when it comes to Network Address Translation. More addresses asking for translation than space you have available for said translation.

The overload command allows NAT to use one address or pool of addresses for large amounts of use from multiple private addresses.

(Hope I made sense this cough medicine is killing my thinking)

 
This is the line I am refering to:
ip nat pool ISPNATPool 68.x.x.x 68.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.224

Should be:

ip nat pool ISPNATPool 68.x.x.x 68.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.224 overload
