All the previous explanations seem to make sense, I personally had no idea that the Redbacks could isolate and automatically authenticate DHCP broadcasts quite so well. But in that case, why PPPoE at all? As it was explained to me, most of the reasons for PPPoE were just what you explained DHCP can do in conjunction with the Redbacks. There must be SOME type of motive here. I can't believe they'd do it JUST to make things a pain in the ass for their customers ;-). Randy S.
