I have a small problem with my dynamic dialup ppp connection (using userland
ppp -nat). Whenever my ISP drops carrier and I redial in, ppp looks like it
just aliases the ip to the new one, but doesnt delete the old assignment (so
if I was 1.2.3.4before, then reconnect and become
1.2.3.5, I now have TWO
inet <ip> --> <ip> aliases under tun0 (per ifconfig -a). The problem is, my
dyndns daemon does NOT recognize this as a change, so it doesnt update my
dyndns and as such, my system chokes on it. I can still connect via the
fresh ip, but the old one times out usually. Is there anyway to disable this
aliasing? I tried adding "disable iface-alias' to ppp.conf, but no dice. Any
help would be hot. TIA
