These questions should be asked on the freebsd-questions mailing list;
I have forwarded this message there and directed replies there as well.
The short answer is you cannot connect network 10.0.0.0 directly to the
internet; you will need to setup network address translation on your
PPP router in order for this work. The user-mode PPP utility in FreeBSD
will do this for you, or if you use the kernel-mode 'pppd' you may also
use 'natd' to accomplish this. If these pointers and the handbook
entries aren't enough to get you up and running, ask more questions on
the questions list.
