Hello,
here below the details:

IRIS-ppp0  180.1.1.2
dview-ppp0 180.1.1.1
IRIS       199.1.1.5
dview      196.1.129.176
multipass  196.1.129.160

All netmasks are default. Machines dview and IRIS have both forwarding
enable.
IRIS, dview and multipass don't run routed. All machines are FBSD
2.2.5-REL, except IRIS is Irix 6.3


multipass CAN ping to dview and to IRIS.
IRIS CANNOT ping to multipass but it CAN ping to dview and to
dview-ppp0.
It happens that packets are not able to pass over dview-ppp0. Traceroute
reveals that the packets stop at the dview-ppp0 interface.
