Why use PPP for work ?
Why not set up rules at work to allow ONLY
your home computer's ip(2) in? or IPSEC ?
Anyway....you can manitain mutiple connections
and just make changes to the routing table as to
where they go....you can do it manually by
masquerading (like you suggested) or with static
routes. I would do static routes if I were you....
You just set up a route that says all requests for 172.16x.xxx.xxx
go here (ppp0) or where-ever. OR do it the other way...
All requests that AREN'T in the 172.16x.xxx.xxx subnet go to
PPPoe (DSL)....I guess I like that better......
Chime in everyone....I know this post will gather opinions.
