you know how HARD I had to press them to get MPLS?! they hate giving that away! it's WAY more stable and WAY more convenient, and you have lower latency as a bonus. pptp/pppoe and even L2TP are not my cup of tea. > business days and in the meantime I'm going crazy not being able to use > my other PCs at home. you want a firewall anyway, might as well make it a masquarading one, whether it connects the world with MPLS or pppoe. > Shorewall works great when my internet connection is on ppp0, but I'm > really struggling to get my routing working when the internet is on eth0 > and local network on eth0:0.
