I don't understand that; He would have an IP address in his
domain on the ethernet interface of his router. I always
thought the PPP link didn't really matter as long as everything
routes through. If this is wrong, it's probably the same mistake
that the carrier is making.
Here's how I would try to do it:
1 2 3
+---+ +---+---+
| A |----------| B | C |-------+ . . .
+---+ +---+---+ |
+---+
| D |
+---+
1 Router on their end
A: 139.130.78.1
2 Router on your end (multi-homed FreeBSD - gateway enabled)
B: 139.130.78.12 (ppp interface)
C: 203.1.96.5 (ethernet interface)
# route add 0.0.0.0 139.130.78.1
3 Lan Workstation (or something)
D: 203.1.96.x
# route add 0.0.0.0 203.1.96.5
Is this incorrect?
