   Re: Route "around" VPN Client?

   Lonewolf,   
      
   Thanks for your response.   
      
   I doubt if I'll be able to get the company to allow this.  That's why I   
   was hoping to find some kind of solution where I could add the routing   
   on my client PC end.   
      
   The 'route' command still shows both the virtual/VPN "interface" and the   
   physical NIC interface.  It seems like I should be able to add a   
   specific route JUST to the news server's IP address for the NIC   
   interface, which I'm thinking might cause traffic that is destined for   
   that one IP address to go out on the interface.   
      
   It seems like this is, in principle, similar to having two physical NICs   
   on one computer.   
      
   I just can't figure how to do this...
