Okay, I wasn't sure if I could do that...but then I also didn't try.  So 
what I have done is:

My LAN is 192.168.21.xxx
I modified /etc/l2tpd/l2tpd.conf
   ip range = 192.168.173.2-192.168.173.250
   local ip = 192.168.173.1
I modified /etc/ppp/options.l2tpd.lns
   ms-dns 192.168.173.1
   ms-wins 192.168.173.1
I modified /etc/ipsec.conf
   conn roadwarrior-net
         leftsubnet=192.168.173.0/255.255.255.0


It's working the way I want now.  The roadwarrior cannot see 
192.168.21.xxx machines, only the server at 192.168.173.1.  Are the 
above changes the correct ones?  Are any unnecessary?
