I'm not sure how this would work. The ISP can "live with" any address, but the source address must be a routable address to make it out of their internal network. If I give tun0 a 10.x address, the packets won't make it out to the Internet. If I give it a "real" address that belongs to one of the subnets, the packets will ultimately go the wrong way. >My previous suggestion was to make the routable IP address >the source address by making it the canonical IP address >for the interface, rather than one of the aliases, which >should have resulted in it being used as the source address. The question is, what routable IP address should that be? The address of one of the internal interfaces? An address from one of the internal subnets that's not assigned to an interface? I'm confused. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
