[pptp-server] Tunneling to reach public IP address?

[Jack Coats]

Just a guess... let us know if it works ...

If I get this right you probably want to turn off the button that makes
the PPTP link your default gateway.  ... To do all of what you want,
you may need to set up a NETWORKS file to send all traffic for 10.x.x.x
to the VPN and everything else out via the general gateway (via another
link).

Does that sound right to everyone else?
