Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Good Afternoon, I have a local lan of FreeBSD boxes, a PPP out to the rest of the world, and a FreeBSD box as the gateway. Everything Is working fine, and all machines can get out to the world via the FreeBSD gateway. However, If I am actually using the gateway machine, The IP of the PPP tun0 interface is shown as the source of all connections. Is there any way to make this the IP of the Ethernet interface? I ask because the IP's are connected with different domains names, and some machines that I access (such as NNTP hosts) only allow connections from my LAN domain. Also, On a semi-related note, I am using IIJPPP in auto mode to achieve dial on demand. However, Periodically, usually after a few connects and disconnects, the PPP process will die. At this point I will have to restart it manually in order for the connection to be re-established. Has anyone seen similar behavior? And if so, do you have any suggestions to overcome this? Thanks in advance for any assistance, Jay Kuri
