So, I assume you have a machine inside your firewall that is masqed 
through it?  And you want to be able to do the pptp stuff that route?

The solution is different depending on kernel version and whether you're 
using ipchains or iptables.

Check out the following:

That may be all you need depending on what all you want to do, you might 
check out:

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/

Inparticularily:

Let me know if you get stuck.  You may need to recompile your kernel for 
the gre stuff.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
