Hi Archie,

Let me explain a little bit more.

I use mpd-netgraph to establish a PPTP session to my ADSL provider. When the
session is available, ng0 has the public IP address associated with it.

ifconfig ng0 shows:

        public IP -> some IP


All the traffic on the public IP address needs to be forwarded without
translation to an another ethernet port which has a hardware VPN router that
responds to the public IP address. In both directions there should be no
translation.

I don't think proxy arp will work here. I was hoping to use a set ng hook
mpd-netgraph command to link it to another ethernet port.

Peter

I don't understand.. how do you expect to bridge a point-to-point interface?
Why not just have mpd assign the remote side an IP address on the
Ethernet netrange using proxy ARP? Eg. "set iface enable proxy-arp"...
