Ok, that's clear now.

I think my 'right' solution is a /32 mask for each of the ppp0* intfcs/aliases.

That is once I figure out whether I *need* to allow (enable?)
broadcasts across the block of *external* IPs if, in fact, I'm
treating them individually :-/ (back to reading O'Reilly 'TCP/IP
Network Admin').

I.e., what have I broken -- if anything -- once I've set /32 netmasks?

Thanks!

Geri :-)
