    Take a peek at IPFilter, or newer versions of the ppp included with
    FreeBSD include an -alias option that does the necessary translations.

I did, but couldn't find info -- no man page info about "alias" in ppp
nor pppd pages; which one were you meaning here?  I also didn't find
any man page on "ipfilter" :-(

I'm running 2.1.7-RELEASE and just cvsup'ed the ports collection: I
don't find ppp, pppd, or ipfilter there. 

Thanks.

PS: any comparisons on ipfilter vs. ipfw for a newbie to both (but
    not networking in general)? I know this provoked a bit of a heated
    debate here a while back: I am looking mainly for NAT. Just curious
    because I do see an /etc/rc.firewall which uses ipfw, not ipfilter.
