because I'm looking for a ppp daemon that will do demand-dialing for a
couple hundred ip-addresses/dialouts without running a damon for each
dial-out. The NetBSD ppp does demand-dialing, but you have to run a daemon
for each one. This works fine if you only have a few dial-ups but I'll have
hundreds.  I'm looking for something like Linux's diald. From what I've
read, it appears iij-ppp will do what I need but I won't know until I get
it up and test it.

Do you know how to do this with NetBSD's ppp? I think it might be possible
by combining it with IP filtering (IP Filter).

Thanks!
