The question that I have is where do the tunnels end up? For example, I have the usual PPTP tunnel to netvision. I have a specific route to the IP address of their tunneling host and a default route via the tunnel. If I wanted to add a second tunnel to anywhere else, then all I need to do is to set up a specific route to that host. If I want to communicate with that host for other things than the tunnel, I would run into a problem. Or not depending upon what gets routed over the direct interface. The situation becomes problematic when I want to have two tunnels on the same host. Then there is no easy way to route packets on one interface and not the other. If you are connecting to an ISP, you can arrange for one tunnel to be hosted on one IP and the other on a different one. It may already be that way, and you don't know it. For example, Netvision has several pptp tunnel hosts. I use the one I was assigned to. I know other users who were assigned to different ones. I don't know what would happen if I switched. They may not let me connect, they may get upset and complain, or they may not even pay attention. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
