This just got me wondering. How the heck does MCPPP work? Say I dial in
and connect to PM3's at 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 and am givin an IP
address of 10.1.1.1. How is traffic destined for 10.1.1.1 going to load
balance across the two different PM3's? Does it require you use proxy-arp
and they take turns arping for the dialup address? I wouldn't expect that
to work due to arp caches.
