Perhaps you can use BCP bridging feature: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:BC ... _bridging)

This can be solved easily if wanted. This page explains the PoPToP pptp server and how they use it for playing multiplayer games over VPN: http://non-standard.net/freebsd/game-vpn/vpnfaq.html

I guess it's just a matter of will to implement or not that same behavior.

this talks about a different pptp server using bcrelay.

i'm well familiar with what needs to be done, but no one has indicated how bcrelay like ability is configured on mikrotik. i don't want to run another server and replace the mikrotik

considering the amount of power this router has this should be a simple thing?

I'm just referencing another (open source?) project to show that this is possible and shouldn't be a big deal to implement, especially on a device as fantastic as mikrotik :)
