It sounds to me like there is no good solution to this problem. I have the
same issue, and to allow VPN clients to acces resources on a subnet that is
different than the RRAS server, I have to manually add a static route to the
clients routing table, or check the "Use default gateway on remote network"
checkbox, and allow themm to get their Internet traffic through the RRAS
server through the company's ISP.
