Hmmm.  I'll give that a shot.

No, I didn't; I was really just trying to get it passing IP (i and hadn't
(yet) concerned myself with DNS.  Out of curiosity:

- where is this documented?  I don't recall seeing mention of this in the 
  PoPToP FAQs and HOWTOs.
- Why would I need the DHCP server to be listed?  Is there interaction
  with the DHCP server for info that DHCP would normally dish out?

Yah -- this is enabled.  Packets pass through quite nicely...


Thanks for your prompt response to my original e-mail!
