I don't remember exactly the kernel option, but I think that it was:
CONFIG_IP_TRANSPARENT_PROXY
This puts a proxy in your local computer that fools your application to think
that it is talking with the external partner directly, while it is actually
talking to a local proxy. If the connection changes (because diald re-connected
or changed from sl0 to ppp0) then it doesn't matter. It's very practical, diald
can hang up if you are reading something and then restart when you click on a
new URL.
