Dear all

I've a problem trying to find a solution implementing a post-dialup
on PPP. 

I should like to dialup and get the IPCP dynamic IP address
after the initial configuration of the interface and during a sento/connect
of an application. The ppp ifnet would notice that the dialup has not been done 
and might trigger an upcall to the pppd for dialup and IPCP negotiation. 

The overall algorithm might look like :
	1/ configure PPP ifnet with a dummy IP local address.
	2/ application performs a socket call on it.
	3/ PPP interface triggers the dialup,
	4/ get the dynamic IP address 
	5/ re-configure the interface
	
The PPP deamon/ifnet etc.. on FreeBSD does not know to do this, are you 
aware of a good way (better way ?) to implement this.

Thank's for your help.
