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?
