- Sure, no problem. Just tell your PPP link about each end's IP
- address. None of the addresses are related to any other IP address in
- either your address space of that of your peer. Each IP interface is
- independent of any others on the same machine, so it can use the same
- address as some other interface, different addresses in the same
- subnet, different addresses in the same network, or something you've
- pulled out of thin air.

- For example, our link to the world looks like
- du0: flags=0x51<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING>
- inet 137.175.1.1 --> 38.146.20.1 netmask ffff0000
- The netmask is incidental and ignored.
