Natd -dynamic opens a routing socket and waits for a routing message which is assumed to arrive when the interface gets a new IP-address. However, sppp doesn't supply a routing message for natd when the IP-address is changed during ppp address negotiation. The result is that the interface IP-address stored in natd doesn't get updated after a redial. However, (as always in the unix world:) there is a way around this problem. I use a script which does a kill -HUP on natd when i4b comes up after a (re)dial. This forces natd to (re)read the interface IP-address. The script is executed by isdnd. I don't have the details here (at work). If you are interested, I'll check the setup (at home). -Arve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
