   What is the IP addressing scheme used on the remote LAN? From your
posting, it looks as if both sites are using the same IP subnet. If that is
the case, nothing will ever go over the VPN link. An IP address in the same
IP subnet is assumed to be local. Traffic will go to the LAN NIC, not to a
router or VPN link.
