rh60 kernel 2.2.10/  diald 0.99.1

Now:
we use diald --> modem --> internet
all is ok.

In the future:
we'll use a router to connect to the internet.
As the router lacks the granular control mechanism of diald, I was wondering
if there a way to keep all PCs go to the linux server as their gateway, and
have diald to "trigger" the router instead of the modem.

Basically diald should simply add a default route to the router and delete the
default route when the connection is down.

I can't make diald behave this way.

If I set 
dev eth0
it screws up the eth0 routing.

So I thought to use a fake interface:

If I set
dev eth0:1
it doesn't recognize it


If I set
dev "eth0:1"

Cannot assign requested address
Jul 26 09:50:34 i5 diald[975]: failed to get remote address from device
eth0:1:Cannot assign requested address
Jul 26 09:50:34 i5 diald[975]: failed to get broadcast address from device
eth0:1: Cannot assign requested address
.... loop

I looked at the examples for isdn, but they don't seem to apply well to what I
want to do?

Anyone that already use diald --> router?

Thanks.
