Are you running ppp -alias? Which FTP client? There are some shortcuts in the aliasing code. I've not yet seen any programs that doesn't send the connection data in a way we can handle, but there still might be one. The other most likely problem you might have is lack of a default route (default gateway) in server3 - you have to set defaultrouter=="192.168.1.1" in rc.conf on server3. If this is missing, it won't work. Eivind.
