right. to answer your question about dynamic DNS I think that pppd can be used for weird thing, such a a pppd tunnel over ssh. example : http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/mini/VPN.html i have also seen that some people use alternative DNS in order to access some non standard domain, such as http://www.name-space.com/ and, i may want to use my own dns servers, for security, for example ( dns sec ). all of these would requires to not use the option usepeerdns, so, i guess you are right. In order to work on a real script, i propose to use the wiki to write the files : http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/edit/Main/DraftPppScript By the way, i have put ppp maintener in Cc, please use answer to all, thanks :) and, for completeness, i have take a look at /etc/ppp/ipup on debian, it only contains the runparts line of the proposal i have made. -- Mickaël Scherer
