Hmmm...  It should work just fine...  But do you really need a whole
other machine to test this?

If you setup diald to bring up the line, it should not matter if the
traffic is local or from the network...

Of course, masquarading and routes would be important, and perhaps a
second host (even virtual) would be of use to test this setup in
advance...
