   Excuse me.   
      
   The *external* IP address changes which is irrelevant to the routing   
   *inside* the VPN (and even if you are assigned a different vpn internal   
   IP - Address each time the tunnel is opened, that should not be a problem).   
      
   If You have to reach several IP subnets within your vpn why not set the   
   default gateway of your VPN subnet to the vpn gateway at headquarters?   
      
   Btw, split tunneling is a security headache for several reasons:   
      
   Consider your remote PC connected to a local LAN with one or more pcs   
   being virus infected. What would these pcs stop from misusing the vpn   
   connected pc to send stuff out through your vpn (remember: viruses need   
   not use the IP protocol but could use netbios rpc as well)?
