I tried to do exactly what yoru doing, I'll explain where I am.  In
order to support pptp traffic you have to support protocol 47, and allow
traffic forwarding on tcp port 1723. seems simple enough ..... Err no
trick is netfilter doesn't nativly support pptp traffic. The two options
you have are to get the latest POM and apply the pptp Nat patches. There
is also another patch available below. Let me know if yo uget it to
work. I gave up and went with an IPSEC implimentation which is just as
much a pain in the ass
