Subject: [9fans] PPPoE-servering
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 14:06:50 +0200	[thread overview]

Hi guys,

I would love to substitute my NetBSD-NAT/PPP-box with a Plan9-driven
system, yet I still want the only non-Plan9-box to be able to connect to
the internet. Instead of writting a natd for Plan9, I would rather like
to setup a PPPoE-server so that the Windows-box could use PPP to connect
to the plan9-driven gateway, 'proxying' to the internet. So this would
be the theoretical setup:

Plan9-LAN        -> ether0 -> 'import /net'        -> ether2/PPP ->
DSL-Modem, etc...
Windows-machine  -> ether1 -> ip/pppoe servering  /


Would that work, anyway?
Despite the fact that ip/pppoe does not pass -S to ip/ppp, thus using
ip/pppoe for servering is currently not possible, anyway...
(Why is that, btw? Is serving PPPoE something different than using PPPoE
as a client?)
