Sure, no problem. Just tell your PPP link about each end's IP address. None of the addresses are related to any other IP address in either your address space of that of your peer. Each IP interface is independent of any others on the same machine, so it can use the same address as some other interface, different addresses in the same subnet, different addresses in the same network, or something you've pulled out of thin air. For example, our link to the world looks like du0: flags=0x51<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING> inet 137.175.1.1 --> 38.146.20.1 netmask ffff0000 The netmask is incidental and ignored.
