Hmm, this isn't very ``searchable'' in the user-ppp man page (I'll
add the word ``dynamic'' somwhere :-)
Hisaddr may also be specified as a range of IP numbers in the
format
IP[-IP][,IP[-IP]]...
for example:
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1 10.0.1.2-10.0.1.10,10.0.1.20
The range can be put in ppp.conf as above or even in ppp.secret if
you want to change the range based on their pap or chap username.
