With 2.2, you have the -alias flag to ppp for doing IP masquerading (also called NAT - Network Address Translation). There's also an experimental natd which uses 2.2's divert(4) sockets to accomplish this for all interfaces, not just ppp. Do a net search on "natd" for more information. -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
