 I haven't yet tried it, but I see one problem. AFAIK there is no
 mechanism to start more than one ppp with the current rc.d/ppp script
 via rc.conf. Thus I can't imagine how this can work if I do this with
 a tun device that does correspond to the ppp started via rc.d/ppp.
 
 And it will still terminate processes that are unrelated to the pp
 started via rc.d/ppp if it is used without the additional parameter.
 
 So I don't think, this can fix the real problem, that there is no way
 to identify the ppp instance that were started via rc.d/ppp. At least
 I see no such way.
 
 Do I miss something?
