RE: [LUG] SuSE && Dial on Demand

I'm using Dial-on-demand on a Redhat 7.1 box, with a Win98 and also a Win2k
client.  Not sure how different it would be for a SuSE box.

PPPD has options in it for dial on demand, can't remember what they are to
hand, but I think I cheated and used linuxconf and rp3config to set that up.
Just make sure the PPP interface becomes the default route.

One little tip - dont bring up the ppp interface on boot - it hangs up the
init sequence, while waiting for someone to dial out, and it can't dial out
as it not yet run the iptables script. :)

Then configure ipchains or iptables for IP-Masq, and set the default gateway
on your clients to point to the SuSE box.  You may want to also set up the
SuSE box as a caching name server as well.
