Not really, unless you want to dynamically rewrite the ppp config file all the time. Most people just statically allocate one IP per port; it appears to the user that they're "dyamically allocated" but to you it's a 1:1 mapping. What happens if the PPP block can't get an IP? :-) Doug White Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
