I am also affected by this bug. While I agree with Johan that allowing
the client a direct route to the internet while the tunnel is active is
a Bad Thing, that is ultimately the decision of the network architect,
not the client. I believe that the client should route whatever networks
are advertised by the VPN gateway; if that includes the default route,
then so be it.

The reality of the situation is that network administrators are often
configuring their VPNs based on the behaviour of the Windows client, and
aren't necessarily about to make changes for one or two Linux users in
the enterprise.

While the NetworkManager vpnc plugin does allow you to manually enter
which networks are to be routed through the tunnel, doing so prevents NM
from correctly updating resolv.conf to use the organization's DNS
servers, which breaks name resolution for hosts on the private network.
