The dest-mac command is used in conjunction with the dynamic command.
Basically, when you specify a dynamic peer (this is different from the
promiscuous concept), the router will only initiate a peer connection when
it has "interesting traffic", where the dest-mac command is used to define
that interesting traffic. Normal DLSW is going to initiate the session as
soon as you configure it, and keep the session up until traffic needs to go
across.
The dmac-output-list is going to prevent traffic destines TO the addresses
on that list from exiting the router TO that remote peer.
They have similar syntax, but totally unrelated functions.
