You might get problems with the selection of the source address you come from though. The situation that might occur is a route going over ppp0 using 24.141.xxx.89 as source address. That will probably *not* work. > Now this seems to work. Is there anything wrong with this? Can you take > a guess at why what you suggested didn't work?

I've set up stuff like this with ppp over pptp over ethernet links (*silly* ADSL setup), and that works as well. > Now all I have to do is kludge something together for my redundancy, set > up firewalling, and masqerading. Note: you may want to set up policy rules for dealing with packets that already have a source or destination address. This will let servers running on your system that bind to 0.0.0.0/0 answer to requests from both links over the correct link. Browse through the mailinglist archives for some hints on how to set that up.
