Hello,

the following should be possible with IPIP tunneling (and ProxyARP),
I think. I'm afraid I wasn't able to get it done with Linux 1.3.22/23
on both sides (and net-tools-1.3.6 BETA3). Maybe I just fundamentally
misuderstood something.. or there are still some bugs :) 
I would be very glad if someone who knows could tell me how it should
be done.

Ok, here it goes..

                              +---Ethernet/FDDI--------+
                              |                        |
  *---------------------------|--*   *-----------------|---*
  | Subnet A.B.N1            gw  |   | Subet A.B.N2   gw   |          
  | ============= (A.B.N1.254)|  |   | ============    |   |          
  |                           |  |   |                 |   |
  | lxrouter----------Ethernet+  |   | ppp-server--Eth-+   | 
  | (A.B.N1.101)                 |   | (A.B.N2.200)        |
  |    ^                         |   |     #               |
  |    !                         |   |     !               |
  *----!-------------------------*   *-----!---------------*
       !                                   !
       !                                  PPP
    at other times              (dynamic client address
    static PPP with                  A.B.N2.x, e.g.)
    reserved address                       !
      A.B.N1.120                           !
       !         ========                  !
       +----->// |client-ppp0-(A.B.N2.202)-!
                 ========

Question: how to achieve, that even when using dynamic IP (ppp0 interface
          has A.B.N2.x address) "client" is reachable as A.B.N1.120
          and also using that address for outgoing packets?
As I said, I think I know how it should work (it doesn't though..),
but maybe I'm totally wrong..

Any help appreciated (even if this is not an important thing for me),

have a nice day,
  Lutz
