[?] How to attach 2 PPPoE accounts to one ethernet card.

Hello guys

Could you please tell if it is possible to have two 2 dsl connection from 1 ethernet card ?
For example now I have only one: ppp0->eth0 , but I want to attach second accout from the same provide and route unprivileged users though another pppoe channel. something like ppp0:0->eth0. I need it because I as administrator want to have separate ip (visible to the world) then users behind the NAT. Currrently I use RP-PPPoE and I can not find any settings for ppp interface in config files.

Thank you for attention

Some more progress , I have canceled PAD discovery and entered session id and mac address manually,
Now pppd stuck with timeout LCP ConfReq ...

Please do not base64 encode your posts. Use plain text.

Typically you can only have 1 pppoe connection on a single ethernet. Some
DSL modems have both ethernet and usb connections, but not sure if they
can be used at same time. I do know that in my case, connecting 2 dsl
modems to the same phone line does not work (neither one will sync).

If you have a block of IPs from your ISP, they can each be addressed, but
they would usually all be routed through your single connecting IP (as
incoming gateway to your public addresses).

My FTTH line provider supports 2 PPPoE sessions on their consumer FTTH lines,
4 on their "business class" lines, and 2 on their ADSL services. I regularly
run 2 PPPoE sessions, one to my ISP, one to the line-provider's internal
network (RFC1918 space) which has some special content (on-demand video).

So multisession PPPoE support DOES exist in real-world production
environments. (In my case the line provider is the largest FTTH/ADSL
line provider in the company as well as the dominant telco.)

I personally use a multisession-PPPoE-capable router (Yamaha RTX-1000),
however I have seen guides on setting up multisession on both Linux
and FreeBSD (google is your friend).
