No harm done.  It's just that sometimes people get a little  
enthusiastic about trying to get quick responses.  :-)

You could use ipfw+natd to map between your 192.168 and 10.5  
networks, yes.  However, if the only reason you have your 10.5  
network around is to terminate your VPN or PPTP sessions, it sounds  
like it would be easier to simply move them to terminating on the  
192.168 network instead.

Maybe you've got more going on with the 10.5 network, or maybe there  
are other reasons for the split, but you control your internal  
address space, so if you want everybody using the VPN to be able to  
talk to various 192.168 addresses, it's better to set up the VPN to  
go onto that, IMHO...
