You can't connect two clients behind one NAT device to the same PPTP
server, unless the NAT device has some application intelligence to
differentiate between the two connections.  GRE doesn't have a port
number like TCP and UDP that the device can use to differentiate. 
There are other ways to differentiate the GRE traffic between
connections on two LAN hosts, but m0n0wall doesn't support that at
this time.

This isn't necessary.
