[En-Nut-Discussion] PPP as backup connection

[Harald Kipp]

Just how it should work (not sure if it really does):

First of all, each interface requires a unique ip address.

When adding a route to the routing table, the interface
(pointer to NUTDEVICE) will be attached to that entry.
When querying a route, that NUTDEVICE pointer is returned
and used to call the proper interface output routine.
