Yup, that's what happens

Put one of your spare IP's as the localip. This is the address given to the 
PPTP server end of the link

Put a range of IP's as the remoteip. One of these will be given to the PPTP 
client end of the link.
If you want to use proxyarp, the remoteip range needs to be in your spare 
IP's, otherwise it can be any range. The range size should allow for the 
maximum number of simultaneous PPTP connections.
