I'm attempting to construct a communications server on a Linux 2.0.36
box, running pppd 2.3.5. The ppp driver in the kernel is FILEVERSION
980512.
This system must initiate outgoing ppp links to multiple target
systems, both Unix and NT. Ultimately, it must handle 128 or more
simultaneous connections.
Currently, I can manually initiate connections to both Unix and NT ppp
"servers". I am now trying to determine how I can do this on demand,
in response to network packets destined for the target systems.
I've read everything I can find on Linux pppd's 'demand' option and on
the diald package. It seems that these are geared towards managing a
single, predefined ppp link, such as an Internet connection. While
these are certainly valuable services, I don't see them scaling well
for my application.
Are there other solutions for establishing connections on demand? I'd
appreciate it if people would share their thoughts and experiences
with this type of setup. Thanks.
