    I have setup a VPN for the company I work for in which all of the remote
    offices connect to the Headquarters office using MPD. And this works
    great until I have to re-establish the connections.

    What I am trying to do, and maybe there is a better way, is to control
    what ng interface a client connects on so mpd can add routes for me
    based on the set iface route statement.

    For example in my mpd.conf configuration file on the server I have the lines

    pptp0:
            .....
            new -i ng0 pptp0 pptp0
            set ipcp 10.129.10.40/32 10.129.10.100/32
            set iface route 10.128.10.0/24
            ...

    pptp1:
            ......
            new -i ng1 pptp1 pptp1
            set ipcp 10.129.10.40/32 10.129.10.101/32
            set iface route 10.129.10.0/24
            .....

    On the client side (all are identical with the exception of the first
    ipcp address)
            ........
            new -i ng0 vpn vpn
            set ipcp 10.129.10.100/32 10.129.10.40/32
            set iface route 10.129.10.0/24
            .........

    In mpd.secret on the server I have (usernames and passwords have been
    changed)

    user1 "user1" 10.129.10.100
    user2 "user2: 10.129.10.101

    I am seeing the correct IP addresses assigned as each user logs in, but
    they are not on the interface I would expect them to be on.

    Is it possible to do this? Or should I work on trying to add the routes
    as the interfaces come up based on the IP address they are assigned?

    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Jay
