Arriving any minute now on http://diald.unix.ch is diald-0.98.3.
This should fix the *known* bugs in previous versions :-).
There are three big changes to pay attention to:
1. The proxy is now an ethertap interface by default rather than
slip. You can get the old slip interface back if you edit the
settings in the Makefile (typing "make" without editing the
Makefile will not work anyway now :-) ).
You need to have ethertap support in your kernel. Instructions
for using an ethertap module are in the Makefile.
2. More major routing changes. Diald now adds and removes addresses
from interfaces rather than simply changing routes in an attempt
to make it coexist with routing daemons a little better. It should
not make any difference to most people (anyone?) but I haven't
tried it on a 2.0 kernel.
3. If the dynamic option is set diald will forward buffered packets
by sending them *back* to the kernel. If your set up allows
packets to be forwarded unmasqueraded to your proxy and masqueraded
on the real link when it is up this should mean that buffered
packets will get masqueraded as they get forward to the real
interface. If you have a network masqueraded over a dynamically
addressed link this should fix "slow start" problems that occur
when the trigger packets are not from the local machine. I think.
Were it not for these three I might have been tempted to make
this a 0.99.x...
