Good point. Getting brain farted here. Forgot about the point that if they
are on the same subnet, the gateway is irrelevant. What's interesting is
that when I assign an ip address to my client by specifying it in AD, then
manually assigning that same address in the VPN connection on that client
and specify the IP address of the server as it's gateway, it works fine.
