Older hell - try the Lucent Office Router. ;-)
If you want On-Demand dial it needs a known IP. And if the number is into
a pool, it can suck if you have multiple NASen you may hit that report
different IPs.
This is one thing I've been harping on since I worked there - why the hell
can't you create a location for on-demand dial and point the default route
at it. Then any non-local traffic would kick off the dial.
Add the location, set it to on-demand.
Set the dest IP to something like 255.255.255.255
This should create a PTP interface in a Suspended state.
Then 'set gateway loc foo'.
The default route would logically point at the location, and any non-local
traffic would hit the PTP interface, and dial.
I would not expect this to be overly hard to implement. And it would
make the OR (or any PM doing on-demand) a lot more flexible.
