AFAIK, you only need one local ip.  However, this ip needs to be different
than the remote ip's.  I believe you can also get away with only one remote
ip, but I've never tried it.

I have the debug option in my /etc/ppp/options file and when a connection is
made, I get a decent amount of information in my log regarding the
connection including the local and remote ip's and the proxyarp settings.
You might want to give this a shot to see what's happening.
