I'm attempting to configure a 4.2 RELEASE system as an ADSL
gateway. Despite reading everything I can find on the subject I'm
still confused about what to do with files like '/etc/rc.conf",
"/etc/resolv.conf", "/etc/ppp.linkup"

If a system has two network adaptors (one for ADSL modem & one for LAN),
what settings are needed in rc.conf ?? Obviously I can't assign similar
addresses to both ethernet interfaces when I have no way of knowing the
what the DHCP one will be before connecting ... hopefully NAT is smart
enough to send LAN packets to / from the right place (although there is a
quite vague warning re ADSL / NAT in the handbook linking to a dead page)

With dialup modem gateway setups using either fixed public IPs or NAT
addresses its straightforward enough, so whats the problem here with 
nat'ting the first ethernet interface & using 192.168 addresses on the LAN
side ??
