Sorry. I wasn't clear : I've even now changed the subject line to cover my tracks.
I have a eth0 with a static IP Ethernet connection. No magic required here. I'd *like* to add a 2nd external connection (say eth1) that is a ppp connection. This is on a net5501, btw. 3rd port is an internal nic. Astfw is deployed looking outward. I've tried various iterations on using EXT2IF as ppp0, but the extent of my success so far has been to obliterate eth0. It may not be possible within the current purpose and scope of rc.conf, et al. If so, I could conceivably set it up post-boot.

While it's certainly possible to support more it would require some fairly substantial work on the PPP software (pppd, pppoe, etc). DHCP is tricky enough. PPP LCP is even worse.
