Interesting, I've read questions similar to this many times.... One forum went into this in detail that the 'no arp frame-relay' does nothing! They tried lots of labs and apparently it did zilch.
According to what I have read on Cisco, the 'no arp frame-relay' disables the sending of frame-relay inverse-arp REPLIES' whilst the 'no frame-relay inverse-arp' disables the sending of frame-relay inverse-arp REQUESTS.
I have tried the latter command, and indeed, it does prevent a router from sending inverse-arp requests. However, the router still responded to inverse-arp requests. For example:
R1 is hub (point-to-multipoint), R2 and R3 are spokes (point-to-point). If you disable inverse-arp 'no frame-relay inverse-arp' on the spokes only, you will still have full connectivty. R2 and R3 are point-to-point so send everything oout of the interface. R1 sends inverse-arp requests and R2 and R3 respond (remember, the above command does not stop inverse-arp replies, only requests).
I tried various tricks to see what the 'no frame-relay arp' did but it didn't seem to do anything.
Hope this helps....
