[pptp-server] Problem with more than one VPN client

the local/remote addresses don't have to be a part of your LAN.. you can make
any weird private address up and use them.. linux does the routing and will work
things out for you.. for example. Private LAN: 192.168.0.*

local ip: 10.255.255.254
remoteip: 10.255.254.250-254

a machine somewhere on the internet VPNs into the poptop server.. and is handed
10.255.254.250 (for example).. but it can now ping 192.168.0.*
