One of our customer's systems has half a dozen diald's running,
with different addresses etc. One for us, one for a London
branch, two for Scottish branches, one for a sister company,
one for a link to some banking service. Oh, and one for their
ISP as well :-).
Each diald has a list of ippp devices it can use. When it wants to
dial out it picks one just like picking a modem. The connect script
then sets numbers etc., dials it and deletes the numbers again.
The disconnect script does a hangup. Some of the links are two
way. The ip-up script used by ipppd gets the IP address. A directory
holds a nest of IP address symlinks to diald fifos. The ip-up
script writes a command to the matching IP address symlink
telling that particular diald to come up on the right ippp interface.
There are now other, and better, ways of doing this - especially
now we can snoop a real interface in place of a proxy. However this
has been working in this way for, oh, two or three years now I guess.
