Hi Igmar,
I have gotten two setups working, which are similar to
what you are going to do. I'd be glad to help.

Diald connects when packets want to leave, and disconnects
after configurable timeouts for different types of packet.
I use diald/ppp/isdn modem at home. It's an external ISDN modem.
Also I recently installed a firewall/diald/ppp server for a little insurance
company.
So if you want the lowdown on diald, I can help Diald works fine
once you get it set up, but there is no active maintainer. So I got info
from other kind people who also had gotten diald working.
Diald lets you ignore some - which is valuable if your local net has MS
machines that send Network Neighborhood browse packets constantly.
I hear that pppd itself has simple timeout capability - I'd like to explore
that,
but I beleive it does not let you ignore certain packets, and that is
important.

Makes no sense to me either.
If it is like diald, you can tell it 192.168.50.50 for the IP number of the
remote, 192.168.50.1 for the local, and tell it you want dynamic IP numbers.
When it connects, it does the right thing - replace both IP numbers.
