Bug 152569

Freebsd running as a pptp vpn with poptop. 

When they are multiple clients connected to the vpn server and the first client disconnects first, the routing table is altered too much.

When the first client connects

# netstat -rn | grep tun
10.1.1.131         10.1.1.130         UGH         0        1   tun0
ff01:5::/32                       link#5                        UC         tun0
ff02::%tun0/32                    fe80::250:baff:fe21:69ec%tun0 UGC        tun0

There is no problem, traffic is ok and routing table too.

After the second client connects

# netstat -rn | grep tun
10.1.1.131         10.1.1.130         UGH         0        6   tun0
10.1.1.132         10.1.1.130         UGH         0        0   tun1
ff01:5::/32                       link#5                        UC         tun0
ff01:6::/32                       link#6                        UC         tun1
ff02::%tun0/32                    fe80::250:baff:fe21:69ec%tun0 UGC        tun0
ff02::%tun1/32                    fe80::250:baff:fe21:69ec%tun1 UGC        tun1

Everything is ok too

But when the first client disconnects the routing table changes to this

# netstat -rn | grep tun
ff01:6::/32                       link#6                        UC         tun1
ff02::%tun1/32                    fe80::250:baff:fe21:69ec%tun1 UGC        tun1

and others client's traffic stops too.

This problem does not occur when the second client closes his connection first

# netstat -rn | grep tun
10.1.1.133         10.1.1.130         UGH         0        0   tun1
10.1.1.138         10.1.1.130         UGH         0       14   tun0
ff01:5::/32                       link#5                        UC         tun0
ff01:6::/32                       link#6                        UC         tun1
ff02::%tun0/32                    fe80::250:baff:fe21:69ec%tun0 UGC        tun0
ff02::%tun1/32                    fe80::250:baff:fe21:69ec%tun1 UGC        tun1

# netstat -rn | grep tun
10.1.1.138         10.1.1.130         UGH         0       62   tun0
ff01:5::/32                       link#5                        UC         tun0
ff02::%tun0/32                    fe80::250:baff:fe21:69ec%tun0 UGC        tun0


I can reproduce this on the old (7.1 prerelease) and the new (7.3 release) pptp vpn servers. I can also reproduce it with a freshly 8.1 release installed system on a test laptop. 

I tried searching forums, mailing list, and bug reports but don't find anything that can help me with this. 

Sorry for the raw text, i don't know how to add some format tags. 

Thanks,

Fix: 

Do not have any
