PPTP tunnel, router as a client

Dear Group,

Is there way to have router to make tunnel to a pptp server (in this case
Linux box running pptpd with pap authentication), transparently to user?

I have setup like following,

Home PCs ---> Cisco 2500 ---> ASDL Modem ---> Internet ---> Linux Box Running
PPTPD

Home PCs have Private IPs and Cisco 2500 gets 1 Public IP via VPDN PPPoE, I
like to have Cisco 2500 to connect to PPTP server where it will issue public
IPs (If possible multiple public IPs, in block or make multiple tunnels to get
multiple /32 addresses) and map it one-to-one with local home pcs so that they
can use public IP addresses from my server.

I was looking at VPDN support information but I failed to find any case where
router makes PPTP connection itself without requiring clients taking any action.

Question is about making PPTP connection and not really after making PPTP
connection doing NAT. To scope it down :-) but NAT configurations example are
also welcome!

Any pointers or advices will be very appreciated.
