I believe I have fixed this issue in svn r201282 and merged=20 into 8-STABLE http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=3Drevision&revision=3D201282 http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=3Drevision&revision=3D201614 The keyword "only", as documented in the manpage, requires a host route to be present or else the proxy arp command will fail. I can forward you an offline exchange I had with Juergen Lock on this subject. > > (b) the PPP > daemon can't create or destroy many of the routes that the > connections need to work. > The above patch also include fixes for routing related problem as=20 you will note in the commit message, although I am uncertain if your problems fall into this category. >=20 > I can't believe that a version of a major operating system shipped > without the ability to do PPP, but apparently that's the case! >=20 Various users reported problems in the vpn/ppp area and those were addressed before the release.
