: Two questions :
: 	1. Can iijppp and the NIC on the FreeBSD machine have the same IP

Yep - just ignore the warnings in 2.2 and above.

: 	2. Is this the way to do it .. ?

Not IMHO, but I know of several people that would argue this.  I think
from a "purist" point of view, no two interfaces should have the same
IP, but having duplicates certainly makes life easier.
