yes this is true, you can't make multiple VPN connections to the same host
with this patch but it doesn't stop you from connecting to other hosts.
Which is why I suggested to make a tunnel to connect networks together
rather than client-server... If client security is needed then SSH tunnel
through it..

Here is what I found on the Netfilter site:

pptp-conntrack-nat 
Author: Harald Welte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status: Beta

This adds CONFIG_IP_NF_PPTP:
Connection tracking and NAT support for PPTP.

Note that this code currently has limitations
- can only NAT connections from PNS to PAC
- doesnt' support multiple calls within one session

Here's the link:
