[pptp-server] Tunneling to reach public IP address?

[Sergio Dominguez]

 Hello:

     I used the button "Use default gateway on remote network" on the
VPN connection properties. Good thing about this is that VPN clients
DO reach my whole network because the VPN link is the default gateway.

   Bad thing about it, is that, if the VPN client wants to BROWSE the Internet,
or even do some DNS query, all the traffic will go trough the VPN link and
then trough my corporate Internet link.

  The Networks file idea sounds great but I am clueless about it.
( the main goal here is telling my VPN client  a couple of static routes:
"send all the data going to the corporate networks (public)a.b.c.0 and
(private)10.0.0.0  trough the VPN link, send anything else trough your ISP" ).

 Can you guys give me some clue?
 (  Yes I'm a newbie, I accept it! :(  )

Thanks in advance gents.
