Firewall Help with OpenBSD

smkndrkn asks: "I'm looking to change our firewall config at work from a dual-homed host architecture to an OpenBSD based Screened Subnet Architecture, however I have a PPTP (yes I know it is horrible but our customer isn't changing to IPSec for another couple months )VPN that needs to work. I've looked at www.OpenBSD.org but cannot find much in the way of documentation ( other than the FAQ ). My current Linux firewall does this fine. I'm looking to have the Exterior router setup with Slackware Linux and the interior router setup with OpenBSD for more security ( and a diversity of architectures ). I'm a little worried that the PPTP connection will not work ( Does it filter GRE? )and that possibly I'll run into other issues. Just for some additional info I need the VPN to go through both routers to get to our internal network ( where the machines that use the connection are located ). Is there another way of doing this? Say have a machine on the perimeter network connect and then allow the machines to connect to that server, which would then route their traffic over the VPN? "
