[pptp-server] ARP Binding ?!?

[Timothy Findlay]

Hi,

I've got poptop all installed (it's my second time around - it used to work
a treat on the original server) and so far so good. It logs in and auth's me
ok, and I can ping/telnet to my VPN server box, but I cant touch the Network
behind it. The network looks a little like...


Road Warrior
203.x.x.x (Live IP) : ppp0
       |
       |
203.x.x.x (Live IP) : eth0
VPN / Firewall Gateway
128.1.x.x (Private IP) : eth1
       |
       |
128.1.x.x (Private Network)
Private Network


I have "proxy-arp" in my options file and a 1 in
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward, but according to the messages file (when a
connection is established) it binds proxy arp to eth0!!

I had a hunt around under /proc/sys/net/conf/eth0 and saw the proxy-arp file
thing, which was 0 so I cat'd a 1 to it and everything started working
(yippie!) but I know this isn't really the right way to be doing things. I
know as soon as I reboot these settings will re-set (erk!) ... I'm running
Redhat 7.2 ... does anyone know where I should set the proxy-arp thing
properly ??

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Tim.
