Actually, the dial-on-demand ppp kit on ftp.macbsd.com has not, to my
knowledge, ever been tried with dynamic addresses. As I recall the man
page, doing dial-on-demand required specifying an IP address in the
options file.
Some time ago, someone mentioned that it _might_ work just by putting in
a bogus address. But, since pppd creates its default route when the
daemon is started (as opposed to when the connection is made), I rather
doubt that it will work that way.
