Hi all, It appears another package has an unexpected 'feature': Using proxyarp on the "server" end of a PPP link seems to be truly unstable. It had appeared to not work and every once in a while for about 30 seconds work for absolutely no reason. Downgrading to the /usr/sbin/pppd binary from redhat-4.2 completely fixed this particular problem for me. Uhg.
