I was asked this question >by someone recently. Based on what I could find out from the man pages, I >think the answer is "no". Although I saw some references on various mailing >lists that 4.3 BSD release did support it. If I understand what you're asking, the answer is "yes", sort of. You can assign the local endpoint of a point-to-point as the same address as your LAN address and FreeBSD will be happy. You need not allocate a seperate address to the PTP circuit. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
