PPP allows you to dynamically assign IP addresses to a connection. I have a UNIX host and would like to support up to 5 connections simultaneously. Has anybody written a script that performs the necessary magic to grab an unused IP address from a pool and start the caller on the correct interface? I though about looking at the incoming pty number and making pty0 be IP address number 1, pty1 number 2, etc... This simplistic approach simply has too many flaws to consider. If you have overcome this problem in the past, I would sincerely appreciate hearing your solution. Email is probably best. I will post a summary if there is sufficient interest. Many Thanks, Steve -- ==================================================================== Stephen Perkins | Department of Computer Science | perkins@cps.msu.edu Michigan State University |
