Routing broadcast

Hi,

I could see that public broadcast adress (255.255.255.255) is routed by
default through the local network.
Is there anyway to configure this ?
In fact I would like to send this packet throught a PPTP connexion. Is
it possible ? If yes is it the same way to proceed on win 2k and XP ?

Thanks for your answers

Frank

It doesn't work like that. Broadcasts do not route. Certain types (like
DHCP) can be "relayed" using a special functions of the LAN Router but that
is a different situation.
