The slip proxy can have any ip you want.  They are only used to trap
the network requests while the net is down anyway.  For example, I
ahve remote set to 127.0.0.2 and local set to 127.0.0.3 for the
proxy.  Diald will detect the new ip when you connect and make the
needed adjustments (assuming you have configured it right).
