So the clients are given an internal ip.  does the VPN box do proper arp
responses for those clients?  I know windows seems to follow different
rules on how to respond to ping requests than linux does.  I find a
broadcast ping on a subnet will get a response from all linux machines
but very few windows machines.

How about ssh or anything else that isn't ICMP based?  Does that work?
