Ok.  Just fired up a client, authenticated just fine.  Client received
10.19.33.202, with a netmask of 255.0.0.0 - is that strange??

Anyway...Here is from ifconfig for ppp0:

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:10.19.33.200  P-t-P:10.19.33.202  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1490  Metric:1
          RX packets:84 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:31 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3

Here is routing table:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
10.19.33.202    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
10.19.33.0      *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
10.19.23.0      10.19.23.22     255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 eth0
10.19.23.0      *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         10.19.23.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

Here is arp table:

? (10.19.23.7) at 00:D0:B7:69:2A:81 [ether] on eth0
? (10.19.23.1) at 00:02:17:60:D6:4C [ether] on eth0
? (10.19.33.202) at * PERM PUP on eth1


Thanks for your help!
