I'd likely route it -- I'd set up the PPP link on that one system, then configure a /29 on an available Ethernet interface for that address range, and route between the two. To conserve addresses, I'd assign the same IP address as the local address on the Ethernet link. (Yes, that's legal.) Since there are only two interfaces, "routing" becomes quite trivial -- all you need is a single default route pointing to the remote address on the PPP link, and that's something that pppd can provide with the "defaultroute" option. I'm not sure what use I'd have for a bunch of manually configured statics that only one machine can use. (Perhaps I'm missing part of your planned deployment, though.) -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
