I've been considering a couple of network configuration issues since
going of to a hosted domain situation.

Among other odd things, like host.conf not handling lookups locally
without triggering a PPP auto connection, PPP timeouts don't seem to
work (iijppp, of course).

With the new rc.conf stuff, it looks like it's about time for a real
overhaul of the network configuration stuff.

Is anyone interest in hacking on this?  I'm going to hack my box to
make it happy, if nothing else.

I was thinking in terms of list boxes for aliases, and checkboxes
and Windows NT style configuration for PPP as a pseudo "adapter".
