Hi,
I have a dial on demand server running FreeBSD 4.7. This also has wu-ftpd
running as well. I have noticed that whe trying to FTP to the box, it takes
a long time to connect (I usually have the modem switched off, but will dial
if I have left it on while trying to FTP into the box). I have noticed also
that Sendmail has trouble sending local mail (daily reports etc). These
problems dissappear when a the ppp link is up, or I have killed the ppp
process. I suspect these problems might be due to the routing table entries
made by ppp (add default HISADDR). netstat -r takes forever, unless the link
is up. When I do a "tcpdump -i tun0" I get 192.168.x.x traffic going to my
ISP's DNS servers.
What would be the best way to fix this? use PPP's firewalling, or IPFW? or
is there a better way?
TIA, Martin
