[pptp-server] Yet Another Stupid Ping Problem

Also... you don't set the routing entry to the IP of the incoming clients...
you set it to the internal IP of the VPN server.  It's job is to route the
appropriate packets to the incoming clients.

if your vpn has two NICs, internally 10.10.10.10 and externally 2.2.2.2  and
your VPN subnet is 192.168.0.x, then all the systems on your 10.10.10.x
network only need a route to 10.10.10.10 for all packets designated for the
192.168.0.0 network.
