I've run a couple of tests now, using different /etc/conf.d/net.runlevel files. Switching runlevels on the fly doesn't cause the new configs to be loaded, but restarting the network afterwards does. I expect this is fine for your needs, as you are unlikely to have the network running while between locations. Even if you are, you only need to do rc newrunlevel /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart to switch over. The VPN and other stuff you need to run is easily handled in the postup() function of the relevant net.runlevel file. -- Neil Bothwick If this were an actual tagline, it would be funny.
