Subject:   PPP fails to install a direct route for interface
Message-ID:  <199704121902.PAA17558@spooky.rwwa.com>

In 2.1.7, Ijppp, or the tunnel, or someone fails to install a direct
route for the interface (that gates to lo0).  This means traffic directed
to the local end of a ppp link doesn't get routed.

I think that this should be treated just like other interfaces in
the system, like ethernet interfaces, where just such a direct route
gets added when the interface is brought up.

The following route command works, but it doesn't get me exactly the
same kind of route that the ethernet interfaces get.  Should I do this
differently?

route -n add -host -interface localsideaddress 127.0.0.1
