I am just about to implement a PPPoE server for my SDSL Customers.  The question I have is I want this server located centrally in my NOC.  My NOC is connected to my Co-Location at the Phone Company via a Fiber Link into Cisco 7206 Routers on each side.   With my PPPoE Server located in my NOC, will the PPPoE requests get to it across the routers or will I have to do some forwarding as you do with DHCP Requests (ip helper).

Forward PPPoE Packets Across IP Networks (Connected by Cisco Routers)

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
