I've got a server running FreeBSD 2.1.0.  The problem is when we
connect through the dial-in lines and hangup, sometimes that users IP
stays stuck in the routing table and never expires.  This becomes a
problem when you try to log back on using that IP since the entry is
already there, the server doesn't seem to reassign it.  Therefore you
don't get any routing...  The only way I can fix that is once that
user is offline, I must manually delete his route.  Does anyone have
any ideas on what is causing the IP's to stay stuck?  Is it my ppp
software on ther server?  Is it the name daemon control interface?

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
