Hi!
My VPN-server under FreeBSD currently uses built-in pppoed and poptop
(~400 tunnels at once). I want to install MPD, but I don't want
to pre-describe each possible connection like following:
# mpd.conf
default:
load pptp<num>
pptp<num>:
new -i ng<num> pptp<num> pptp<num>
set ipcp ranges <ipaddr1> <ipaddr2>
load pptp_standart
# mpd.links
pptp<num>
set link type pptp
..because 3 reasons:
1) very big configs (of course, I have generation script, but his output result
will be BIG)
2) I should track maximum count of simultaneous connections and recreate
configs when there are no more pre-created bundles.
3) all ng* interfaces are pre-created when MPD starts - is it increasing system
workload or not?
IMHO, this was acceptable for dial-in servers, or for clients, but not for
VPN-server.
IMHO, it should be _significantly_ better to describe all possible tunneling
connections of some type (pppoed, pptp and so on) via templates like Cisco does
(optionally: with limitation of maximum count).
WBR, Ilya
