First, I assume that you don't mean cuaa1 - there's no cuaa1 device in
my kernel anyway. If you *do* mean cuaa1, when /etc/netstart executes
ifconfig cuaa1 inet 206.161.179.129 netmask 255.255.255.224
it'll do nothing but produce an error message.
Assuming cuaa1 is something else (ppp0, tun0), what happens when you send
a packet to 206.161.179.{225-254} ? Does it send it down the lnc0
interface or the {insert whatever was meant by cuaa1} interface ? I don't
get what the above config lines are trying to say.
