I am trying to get my VPN connection to only route network traffic related to my workplace through the VPN connection and any other traffic through my Wi-Fi connection.
If I have my Wi-Fi at the top of the service order list I can not access my work network with VPN connected and when my VPN connection is at the top I can not access anything other than my work network.
Could the problem be because my works DNS server resolves internet addresses but does not allow connections through their router to internet bound addresses?
My local router/name server is : 10.10.10.3 Remote VPN name-server is : 10.1.1.88
The output from scutil --dns is as follows, I find it odd that the VPN nameserver is showing up in resolver #1
DNS configuration
resolver #1
search domain[0] : home-domain.com

Looking at my netstat -r reveals the following, I might note here that there is no route for 10.1.. which is where most of my destinations are (10.1.7.* is just the VPN connections).

UPDATE: Talking to our infrastructure team have told me how to solve this for windows 7; Under the "Advanced TCP/IP Settings" tab of the VPN connection we are to un-tick the option "Use default gateway on remote network", is there a similar setting in OSX?
