Before I upgraded to a current -current (previously running -current from 12/97, now 11/11/98), when my ppp -auto disconnected, I set up my ppp.linkdown to delete the old default route and set the default route to a non-existant ip (10.0.2.20) that was the gateway ip address for the now inactive ppp link. The ppp.conf file had set ifaddr 10.0.2.15/0 10.0.2.20/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 The ppp.linkdown had MYADDR: delete default add default 10.0.2.20 This worked really well, as sendmail would try to do a name lookup on the link and I had 10.0.2.20 known to my local named. However, with the way ppp works now, sendmail does a name lookup on the ip address of the now inactive link, which forces ppp to reconnect to the ISP if named has invalidated the IP from its cache. Is there any way to get the old behaviour to work again? When I did a little fiddling around with it, I either would get complaints about the default route already existing or it wouldn't dial out after the first time. Any suggestions?
