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 -- * PIAB - PoP In A Box - the total solution for ISPs, with more features * than a Constable landscape, and freely avaliable too!! * http://www.cablenet.net/cablenet/popinabox/ * Damian Hamill damian@cablenet.net
