try this: make the pptp remote IP addresses on the same subnet as your
private network, use the proxyarp ppp option, and make sure ip forwarding
is allowed in the kernel.

masquing is bad for pptp, but there is a kernel mod out there which will
tunnel pptp through a masq server.. the problem is that the server needs
to make a connection back to the clients, and masquing doesn't do this
without a patch.
