Yup - this is covered in the PPP-HOWTO (which is on sunsite AND in the
Red Hat Linux distribution - install the howto rpm and look in
/usr/doc/HOWTO/...).
It looks like you don't have the 'proxyarp' option specified to pppd on
the server side and you possibly also have not enabled IP Forwarding on
the server.
