[pptp-server] gateway settings

[tmk]

it's own local address IS correct, this is ppp which only knows about 2
computers: the local box and the remote server. It is assumed that
the remote server has routing capabilities, but not that the remote server
is on the same subnet (this is usually not the case).. Since a router or
gateway needs to be on the same subnet as the machine that needs to route,
and there are only 2 ip addrs involved, the local address is the correct
gateway. 

If you check teh 'use default gateway on remote network' box under tcp/ip
settings in teh dial up networking properties window, DUN will route all
ip traffic through the vpn link. The routing from there is up to the linux
server.
