Re: pppoe

[Heitzso <heitzso@bellsouth.net>]

I have both a ppp over modem connection to one intranet
(for security reasons) and dsl to the rest of the world
(for speed).  My route table looks like:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway Genmask         Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
158.111.42.129  *       255.255.255.255 UH    0      0     0 ppp1
adsl-33-141-1.a *       255.255.255.255 UH    0      0     0 ppp0
192.168.118.0   *       255.255.255.0   U     0      0     0 vmnet8
192.168.0.0     *       255.255.255.0   U     0      0     0 eth0
158.111.0.0     *       255.255.0.0     U     0      0     0 ppp1
224.0.0.0       *       240.0.0.0       U     0      0     0 eth0
default         adsl-33-141-1.a 0.0.0.0 UG    0      0     0 ppp0

Note how ppp0 (dsl) has both a 255.255.255.255 mask entry and
the 0.0.0.0 mask entry (for default line).  Similarly, note how
ppp1 has both a 255.255.255.255 entry and the 255.255.0.0 entry
to route to that network.

Now the best way to rig it so it comes up automagically I'm not
sure.  I run a hand built script to pick up my ppp1 additional
route.  I also run by hand pon blat-provider for modem connection
whereas my dsl comes up with the  -on-boot script.
