Lines: 9 Message-ID: <5ktl8j$so0@news.inforamp.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ts30-04.tor.istar.ca X-Newsreader: News Xpress 2.01 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:40641 I have a system which runs several with several ip aliases on its ethernet interface to enable virtual web hosting. I've noticed, however, that user ppp with the -alias -auto options doesn't delete the dynamically assigned ip address. This creates a problem as it causes ppp to dial out right after a connection times out, adding another alias for the system. The question is, has anyone managed to run ppp -alias -auto with an aliased ip address on another interface? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
