It is all invisible to end users (beyond potentially disrupting services for a little bit). The DragonFly subnet is currently being tunneled over a cable modem instead of being directly routed over the DSL, so the DSL line can be worked on. It's just PPTP with a few tricks to make normal MTUs work. The cable modem actually has better bandwidth and improved ping times over the DSL, but is a bit more fragile. -Matt Matthew Dillon

Please accept my apologies as this is a newbie query . is the requirement of tunnel related to setup of a static tunnel IP for mail/web over a DSL connection ? . is the tunnel like GRE or IP/IP ? thanks Saifi.

Theoretically I'll be drilled through my cable modem while my DSL is down but it is unclear how well that will work and the ISP muffed up the router they tried to FedEx me by sending it saturday-delivery on a weekend I wasn't home and not checking the box that allows the delivery guy to just leave the package. Sigh. So this is a heads-up that there may be some significant outages. I'll post (if possible) when I have more details. -Matt Matthew Dillon 'Best case' w/r the cable modem is a substantial drop in your upload / all others download b/w. Otherwise not much diff. Shout if you need the loan of a server for a few weeks. I've got a backup online at One IAdvantage (Kwun Tong, HK) that is not critically needed for that job until December. Bill Hacker
