[-- Attachment #1 --]
I have a FreeBSD pc acting as a gateway to the Internet at home.  I have a similar FreeBSD pc acting as a gateway on the corporate WAN.

I have created a PPP over UDP tunnel between the 2 gateway machines.  From HOMEGATE I can access internal addresses on the corporate WAN.  The packets are routed through the  PPPoUDP tunnel (which is actually carried by the original PPP connection to the local ISP.  

But PCs on my home LAN cannot access the same corpWAN addresses.  HOMEGATE routes them out the default route to the internet where they are eventually rejected as unroutable.

I don't see why HOMEGATE routes things differently depending on whether the packets originate on itself vs. other local stations.
