Layer 2 Bridge

Hello,

I've used pptpd many times in the past for VPN tunnels and found it to
be a great solution for most cases, but I'm not sure it will do what
I'm trying to do now.

My home network has DHCP and DNS servers with everything in the
192.168.0.0/24 subnet.  I'd like to configure pptpd to act as a layer
2 bridge so that clients receive a network address from the DHCP
server and pptpd bridges traffic between the local network and the
client.

I'm not sure what the layer 2 side of the tunnel looks like.  I assume
that since it is a point-to-point tunnel, no ARP is being performed,
which is why I can't see any MAC information for my connected clients.

Is this possible at all or should I look at something like openswan?

Thanks,

Mark
