West" Subject: dynamic IP assignment Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm looking for a way to dynamically assign ip addresses on a dial-in iijppp server. The mechanism coded into iijppp seems to allow a.b.c.d/e but unless I'm missing something there's no way to assign them from a range (say... 192.217.203.40 up to 192.217.203.69). I think this could be accomplished through scripts but there must be a better method. I was looking into DHCP, but I don't know if iijppp could look to a DHCP server for addresses (via /etc/ppp/ppp.conf?). Any help or ideas are appreciated! Jay West
