If you're running ppp (user ppp, that is)...why don't you just use the -alias option?? That basically does the same thing with a lot less headaches. I have my LAN at home running through a ppp connection using: ppp -auto -alias ud...this allows ppp to run in the background only as needed with aliasing for all other machines. By using this you don't even need to mess with ipfw. It seems to work pretty flawlessly, however as always YMMV.
