Hi there,

do you have a wishlist for vpnc? If so please add dial-on-demand support.

Anway, would dial on demand be possible to implement at all and if so where
is the place in the code where this could be added.

Will diald be an option?

hmm.. I think this could be done if vpnc has rekeying support first..

atm. the core "structure" is a total mess (read: nonexisting), and I'm
thinking about how to do it the right way(tm) (-;
