Well, my experience is that it works OK. I have two machines that are running
2.2.1 and diald 0.16.5. I do get some errors in /var/log/messages that add
route failed but it only seemed to have a minor side effect, I couldn't
traceroute from any host on my internal network because the routes weren't quite
right, somehow this only affected traceroute, not ping, or other tcp or udp
based services.
To fix this little problem I went to juanjox web site
(http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Campus/4869/) and downloaded his diald
rpm. I still get errors about route in the logs, but no longer have the
traceroute problem. You could probably also fix the route problem by setting
diald to not use defaultroute but rather custom ip-up and ip-down scripts, then
write scripts to manually add the correct routes, still I haven't needed to do
this, I just igonre the errors since they have no ill effects.
