PPTP links are no longer dropped by simple (and inappropriate in this
case) "inactivity timeout" procedure, only when requested through the
control connection.
It is now possible to have multiple PPTP servers running behind NAT.
Just redirect the incoming TCP traffic to port 1723, everything else
is done transparently.
Problems were reported and the fix was tested by:
Michael Adler <Michael.Adler@compaq.com>,
David Andersen <dga@lcs.mit.edu>

field of ICMP message itself (which is always IPPROTO_ICMP).

not alias `ip_src' unless it comes from the host an original
datagram that triggered this error message was destined for.

- Multiple PPTP clients behind NAT to the same or different servers.
- Single PPTP server behind NAT -- you just need to redirect TCP
port 1723 to a local machine. Multiple servers behind NAT is
possible but would require a simple API change.
- No API changes!
For more information on how this works see comments at the start of
the alias_pptp.c.
PacketAliasPptp() is no longer necessary and will be removed soon.

It does mean that it is now possible to run passive-mode FTP
server behind NAT.
- SECURITY: FTP aliasing engine now ensures that:
o the segment preceding a PORT/227 segment terminates with a \r\n;
o the IP address in the PORT/227 matches the source IP address of
the packet;
o the port number in the PORT command or 277 reply is greater than
or equal to 1024.

Major number is not bumped because it is believed that noone

it would get applied right after the first SYN packet was seen (either
from client or server). With broken TCP connection attempts, when the
remote end does not respond with SYNACK nor with RST, this resulted in
having a useless (ie, no actual TCP connection associated with it) TCP
link with 86400 seconds TTL, wasting system memory. With high rate of
such broken connection attempts (for example, remote end simply blocks
these connection attempts with ipfw(8) without sending RST back), this
could result in a denial-of-service.
