Not needed. pppoe goes out and establishes a ppp interface (to thier server I
guess) and it is the default route. I hope they have a really speedy box to do
all the packet shuffling. One issue with this will be on boxes behind the
firewall since the encapsulation munges the headers. There is evidently an issue
the mtu tht I will need to set on the boxes behind the firewall. pppoe will clamp
it to 1492 if I ask it to but some vpn software (I think ipsec based ) won't like
it. we'll see what happens with the ssh stuff I do once it it running behind the
firewall.
