Subject:   can ppp work through virtual host?

Before I go trashing a whole system, does anyone know if the following
is possible.

	server, acting as a secondary for the Primary DNS. 
	  IP=203.1.96.5
	gateway=YES
	kernel gatewayforwarding enabled.

	virtual-host on that server
	  ifconfig blah blah 203.1.96.4

	pppd (kernel ppp), myaddr: 203.1.96.4


In other words, can I turn the server .5 into a machine that also
runs pppd, with pppd thinking its on .4, because I have ifconfig
setting up a virtual or alias host?

or...

Should I turn .5 into a Virtual-Server, and rename and re-IP the
physical, true machine to be .4, running pppd?

The PPPD _must_ run as .4. There is no option there.

any ideas if this will work.

Thanks,
Robert
