Hello,
I am using FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE.  I have 2 possibly unrelated questions.  

When the PPP link is dropped and then PPP redials and usually gets a new IP
number, now here's my questions.  When I type ifconfig tun0 (or ifconfig
-a).  The old IP number is still listed there, with a netmask of
255.255.255.255.  Is this standard behavior?  If not, any idea what I may
have done wrong to my PPP configuration to have caused this?

Also, which my be related, I can't ping the IP address assigned to the tun0
interface anymore.  Everything appears to work fine, the ed1 and lo0
interfaces respond to pings just fine.  I can accept connections to the tun0
interface (telnet, ident, ftp, etc...).  It just will not respond to pings.
I have recently starting working with PPP filters and have setup a dial and
alive filters that deny ICMP but no "in" or "out" filters at all.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Chris
