Hey,

This sounds like a problem on the VPN gateway device, you should remove the rule:

"/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1
	-d $LINKSYS_VPN_IP -p tcp --dport 1723
	-j SNAT --to-source $ETH1_IP"

And resolve that issue, what is most likely currently happening. Your VPN router is only setup for or only supports 1 VPN connection per IP address. So a second connection 
would over write the first one.
