Thanks to advances in modern technology and the fact that you're gatewaying through another FreeBSD machine makes this point moot. On your client side, you can enable proxyarp (or ppp -alias if you're using iijpp) and proxy the homenet's network through the ppp client. You can save that IP subnet for your ISP and simply run your homenet on a fakenet, ie 10.x.x.x. Any other machines on the homenet will simply proxy through the ppp client. This is of course assuming you're running fairly recent versions of FreeBSD, ie 2.2.x series OR have updated your ppp to the one at http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/userppp.html. > I've reached a point where I clearly need to check my fundamental > assumptions.

That's a client problem; you need to run `add 0 0 HISADDR' after connecting on the iijppp client. the LCP timeout is odd, it implies the ppp connection isn't really starting.
