I am having a problem with userland ppp(8), and it started when I
started running with the builtin NAT. When the connection is lost by
time out or disconnect and restarted, the tun0 interface just piles on
a new address and it retains the old. For example,

 % ifconfig tun0
  tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
          inet 10.0.0.1 --> 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffffff 
          inet 209.179.252.143 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff 
          inet 209.179.253.65 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff 
          inet 209.179.251.124 --> 207.217.148.27 netmask 0xffffffff 
          Opened by PID 58

The 10-net numbers are the defaults I put in the ppp.conf. The second
and third pair are real ones that were in use, but the connection
timed out and was dropped. Notice the odd mangling of the other end of
the link to 255.255.2555.255. The last entry is the link currently
up.

Is this expected behaviour? I'm starting to build up weird entries in
the routing table as well,

  % netstat -rn
  Routing tables

  Internet:

  127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          2     7110      lo0
  192.168.xxx        link#4             UC          0        0      ep0 =>
  192.168.xxx.1      0:e0:29:11:d3:a9   UHLW        3    22463      ep0   1180
  207.217.148.27     209.179.251.124    UH          4        0     tun0
  255.255.255.255    209.179.252.143    UHb         0        0     tun0

What's that last one? But the real numbers have been removed and the
default route has been overwritten correctly.

Bug or feature? Or misconfiguration? Nothing surprising in ppp.conf
and I'm running with,

  ppp_enable="YES"
  ppp_nat="YES"
  ppp_profile="EarthLink"
  gateway_enable="YES"
