> I've been working on migrating a PPTP server from FreeBSD 7.1 to FreeBSD 8.1. The server is configured using PopTop (from ports) and PPP (/usr/sbin) rather than MPD. (Before anybody tells me to use MPD we can't because it doesn't inject packets into the kernel in the same way and it's not possible to filter on them correctly)

Just been working my way through the PPP code - which doesn't actually appear to have changed.
However, the netinet/in.c does have some comments in the SVN history about deleting the loopback address, this appears to have been merged in as part of the 8 release cycle (r197231 perhaps) (though I'm not an expert at SVN etc)
What should happen when there are multiple interfaces with the same address. When I have two tunnels configured they show up as (eg)
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1398
options=80000<LINKSTATE>
inet 10.0.5.1 --> 10.0.0.31 netmask 0xffffffff
Opened by PID 12616
tun1: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1398
options=80000<LINKSTATE>
inet 10.0.5.1 --> 10.0.0.32 netmask 0xffffffff
Opened by PID 12630
If the loop back address is 10.0.5.1 and closing one of them deletes the loopback what should happen? Should it delete all routes that refer to 10.0.5.1?
