[pptp-server] VPN client using NAT

[Cowles, Steve]

Hmmm.... It's my understanding that RH-7.1 uses the 2.4.x kernels which do
not require the VPN masq patches/modules. At least if your using iptables
and are not wanting to masq more than one VPN client. The RH-7.0 disto used
(by default) the 2.2.x based kernels which included the kernel patch along
with the ip_masq_pptp.o module. 

FWIW: I'm using a RH-7.1 based firewall with the 2.4.4 kernel and connect to
my clients PPTP servers (one at a time) from behind it.

I would suggest reading the following website. Specifically the section
regarding masquerading with the 2.4.x kernels.
