Yes limitation is to all versions and it's not a netfilter problem.. it's the design of PPTP which was microsoft big stuff up from memory. The design didn't allow multiple connections from the same source.. Use a Linux to Linux VPN and you can route the whole network back and forth....
Also PPTP isn't the best VPN but is widely used due to the Micro$oft support for it.. I'd rather use IPSEC if I can only just compile my damn kernel right for once..

I got mine from http://www.impsec.org/linux/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html and it works like a charm. There are patches for 2.4.12, 2.4.15 and 2.4.17. The Netfilter website says that the PPTP patch that can be downloaded on their site has a limitation so you can only make one pptp connection to one host - not stopping you to make another connection to another host. I don't know if the one I use has the same limitation. I have it up and running with the 2.4.17 kernel. No problems encountered here (yet). Just patched the kernel and recompiled it. Then I compiled a new iptables and it worked. Rob
