What you want to do is nearly impossible, incompatible with how things are designed and a /lot/ of work (I would guess manyears). Much easier to use a mobile IP solution which was designed to assigne a static IP to something which changes IP addresses underneath. I would say better options are: - Use IPv6, it has mobile IP build in. - Use a mobile IPV4 solution. Use google, there are many options, or simply write your own using ipip. - Use a VPN solution. Optionally leave out encryption so you end up with a VN solution. OpenVPN can meet your needs, others probably as well. HTH, M4 -- Courier-mta rocks!
