Im running FreeBSD 4.0-current. I've setup ppp and it seens to be working
great with alias but i noticed something last week and cant figure out how
to fix it.

Everytime ppp dials out i get a new dynamic ip which is added to tun0 as
the default route.. great.. the only 'problem' is that ppp isnt deleting
these ip addresses when the connection goes down. I havent reached a limit
yet but i assume there is one at some point (i get about 5 new entrys a
day)

ifconfig tun0:
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 127.1.1.1 --> 127.2.2.2 netmask 0xffffff00
        inet 207.40.234.155 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff
        inet 207.40.234.78 --> 207.40.235.236 netmask 0xffffff00

this only shows 2 (rebooted 6 hours ago) so there is only one that
shouldnt be there. This morning there was more like 12.

/etc/ppp/ppp.conf:

default:
 set speed 115200
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set ctsrts on
 set server 7000 blah
 alias enable yes
 set timeout 3600
 ...

rochelle:
 set phone "5621212"
 set login "ogin: user assword: userblah1989"
 set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0
 add default HISADDR

Is this normal for ppp? Thanks for your help in advance :)
