I found this after some hunting on the net (mainly www.deja.com) it's not
that well known, from the above I'd say you've got hold of everything you
need to get demand dialing working with dynamic IP's (my dad was trying to do
it I was coaching at home without a similar setup). The 0.0.0.0 is often
used in a situation where you are about to set an IP address (I use it when
about to force an ip on firmware ip stack based webcam servers, with arp),
and I assumed would act as local/remote ip in this situation, which is of
course about to get changed with the ppp negociation.
