Subject: Re: [pfSense-discussion] PPPoE and multiple IP addresses

They'll likely configure the PPPoE tunnel with a /29 CIDR block (maybe
smaller, maybe larger, depending on addresses).  You are correct, the
addresses will essentially just "appear" on the pfSense endpoint.  All
you need to do to make use of them is create an "other" type virtual
IP (hey, for all those wondering what the hell other was for...this is
it!) as the traffic is already routed to you and you just need pfSense
to handle it.

FWIW, before my last move, I had exactly this type of setup from SBC.
