I've got a small lan setup that is connected to the Internet through a PPP
modem connection (soon to be ISDN). Anyway, a few applications (RealPlayer,
some games) send UDP packets in response to messages on a separate control
channel. This obviously presents a problem for the PPP packet aliasing
since it has no idea which host these UDP packets should be going to. I can
think of some application specific solutions, but no good general solution.

Anyone got any ideas?
