Ken:
I can't answer your question but I'd love to here an answer to it as I have
a similiar situation with a school network. I allow dial in access for 2 ppp
links using RH 6.2 and my only way around the situation you described below
was to allow the dial in users to access ppp via another lanned RH 6.2 mail,
ftp, samba server on the internal network. So I left my other firewall
machine alone with it's ppp access to the net and the interface with eth0 to
the school lan which is full of windoze machines. But if you don't have a
spare machine to allow a seperate dial in server I don't see a way around
this other than some some config file or scripting that I am not familiar
with.
