Since Frank and I have been conversing off list because the mailer isn't 
setup so you can just reply to messages. This makes it a real pain to 
use the lit because you have to type out the monowal list every time.

It seems like the wan interface gets assigned 10.0.0.1 if a pppoe link 
set up for dial on demand is down/unreachable. Wouldn't it be better to 
set it to 0.0.0.0 or a 169. address to show that the link is down? If 
there any justification to setting it to 10.0.0.1?

Thanks,
Ethan
