With regards to my query about routing to a dialup network my thanks go
to those who responded, especially

Daniel O Callaghan	danny@panda.hilink.com.au 

who very kindly sent me some example gated config files.

After a bit of pondering I think I've got a better idea of what I need
to do now.  

	1) I'm going to add and delete routes in the ip-up/ip-down scripts
using a customer specific script which is passwd as ipparam to pppd as a
filter identifier and comes from the customer's radius entry.  So that
sorts out the adding a delteing of routes on the terminal server.  

	2) I'm going to run gated on the terminal server which I assume will
advertise the routes as they are added by the script.  

	3) I'm going to change my network topology so that the term servers are
on an independent network from the other machines and run gated on the
router between the two nets, with static routes to this network on the
other machines.  

With this configuration I believe that I can have any number of terminal
servers on the terminal server network and the two instances of gated
will sort out the dynamic routing.  The reason behind this is to cut
down on the number of instances of gated on the network.

Is this a sensible solution ?

regards
damian
