Well you need to give these IP's some numbers. I just put the dynamically allocated range from the Livingston into the system - gave then names of du01.my.domain through du??? - meaing dialup 01 through whataever. Those are also in the sendmail.cR file. I had to add about 500 for an out of town client to map to their ISP dialup. A pain but it works. THere may be a better way.
