I'm trying to add names for dialup IPs
(dial001.future.net = 204.130.134.101). The problem I'm running into is
some ports on the AnnexXL doesn't get routed properly. I've narrowed
down the problem to be with (me) NetBSD.
'netstat -r' show:
...
dial001.future.n annex1.future.net UGH 1 2171 ed0
dial002.future.n dial002.future.net UGHM 1 5 ed0
dial003.future.n annex1.future.net UGH 0 55 ed0
dial004.future.n dial004.future.net UGHM 1 4 ed0
dial005.future.n annex1.future.net UGH 0 0 ed0
dial006.future.n annex1.future.net UGH 0 0 ed0
dial007.future.n annex1.future.net UGH 0 0 ed0
dial008.future.n annex1.future.net UGH 0 0 ed0
...
notice dial002 and dial004. When ever a user is connected to either
port, they don't get any packets. Accessing those ports would give:
/netbsd: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo
Should all the dialup IPs be in /etc/gateways?
If I remove all dial*.future.net entries from /etc/namedb/future.net and
/etc/namedb/future.net.rev then everything is fine.
I would like those AnnexXL ports to have names...
