Is this a bug?

When you start a PPTP VCPN client session, an endpoint and default gateway are created like this:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.5.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
78.x.x.x 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.5.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 10.x.x.x 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp5
default 192.168.5.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0

The 10.x is gateway for the VPN and the 78.x is the endpoint.

End the VPN session and you still have this:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.5.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
78.x.x.x 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.5.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.5.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0

The VPN gateway is gone, but the endpoint lingers.

And yes, I am double-NAT ed.
