Can PPTP client request the DHCPINFO via the PPP interface(s)?

As far as I know, neither the server nor the relay will work with a 
ppp interface - it's to do with the stuff the package has to do to 
bypass the IP stack.


These threads should help :

and in particular this post (from the second thread above)

 From this thread there is mention of another package dhcp-helper, but 
I don't think this will help since in this case the problem was 
supporting a serial (ppp) link from relay to sever (ie across a 
serial WAN connection).
