Well, I sort of fixed the problem. I've added static routes to each of my portmasters as gateways to the modems connected to each one. route add -net 206.85.32.64 -netmask 0xffffffe0 206.85.32.64 I have a portmaster with 30 lines connected to it. With RIP enabled on the portmaster, my routed should learn that the route to PPP line is via the portmaster it is connected to. It WAS doing this, until I added the IP aliases mentioned below. Meanwhile, these static routes are working fine. BUT, if a user with a static IP dials up, the problem may still exist. Should I try gated? I'm running routed with -q, RIP on my portmaster and Cisco.
