PPTP (PoPToP) and strange IP Addressing

Hi all-
I am working on getting PPTPd working on a Linux system and aside from a
few things I think we're pretty well set.
What is striking me as strange is that although the system gets assigned
192.168.0.2 as it's "ppp address" and can communicate correctly that way
with the remote network, the pptpd system (also running as a firewall)
logs failed entries for the real IP Address going outbound. Typically
this is AIM, but sometimes IMAP and IMAPS. I may have had those apps
running prior to connecting to the VPN but I'm confused as to why the
real IP addresses would show up in the logs and yet the services work.
Is this some strange oddity with poptop or pppd so both IP's are used?
Or could this be the proxy arp?
TIA,
Matt
