G'day,

We're setting up a RH7.2 router on a Bigpond ADSL connection, using 
rp-pppoe. We're experiencing a problem that some sites (eg, Google, 
Bigpond) load fine on the network clients, but others (eg, Telstra, 
Pacific.net.au) only load on the router itself (lynx) or on network 
clients that are set to use the router's proxy. Ping and ssh work 
fine from the clients.

We've been able to reproduce the problem on our own in-house (Fedora) 
router, by changing the CLAMPMSS         setting from "1412" to "no". 
However, the CLAMPMSS setting on the new router is already set to 
"1412".

The Telstra DSL guru (yes folks, there is one, and he speaks Linux!) 
has suggested changing the MTU size in the pppoe client.

Where do we go from here? The ifcfg-ppp0 file on the new router has a 
MTU="" line: do we set this to 1412, or do we progressively reduce 
the CLAMPMSS setting until it works?
