Broadcast packet forwarding by RRAS clients

I have a small private network that I would like to
configure to allow a limited number of VPN clients to
connect to. This would be for Internet gaming purposes.
Many multiplayer games that look for a game server do so
by sending out a subnet broadcast looking for servers.
Obviously, if a client is on the subnet via a VPN server,
the VPN server won't normally forward these broadcast
packets to the rest of the subnet.

Does anyone know of a way to tell Win2k RRAS to allow
broadcast packets to traverse the RRAS server interface?

Thanks!
 
The short answer is no :(

It does? Where is the selection Alan?

Is it in the GUI or netsh?
