can you run a "single" ip address over?

okie, will try it!


okay, one other issue, it's related to using diald and tincd.

diald is a masquerading dial-on-demand daemon, it brings the
connection up and down.

tincd is a VPN that of course restarts every 900 seconds if
it cannot connect to the remote host.

of course, tincd will _cause_ a dialout :) :)

so i could put it into /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/90tinc /usr/sbin/tincd -n VPnet

... but then, if i do ping jekyl (on the VPN), will it do as
i expect?

i.e. cause a dial-out, which will cause tinc to come up?

but then, of course, the firewall isn't configured to recognise
the tap1 (tap1 because tap0 is used by diald!) interface.

hey, is this getting fun, or whaa?
