Chapter 1      Understanding the VPN Client
VPN Client Features
VPN Client IPSec Attributes
The VPN Client supports the IPSec attributes listed in 
.
Split tunneling
The ability to simultaneously direct packets over the Internet in 
clear text and encrypted through an IPSec tunnel. The VPN device 
supplies a list of networks to the VPN Client for tunneled traffic. 
You enable split tunneling on the VPN Client and configure the 
network list on the VPN device.
Support for Split DNS
The ability to direct DNS packets in clear text over the Internet to 
domains served through an external DNS (serving your ISP) or 
through an IPSec tunnel to domains served by the corporate DNS. 
The VPN server supplies a list of domains to the VPN Client for 
tunneling packets to destinations in the private network. For 
example, a query for a packet destined for corporate.com would go 
through the tunnel to the DNS that serves the private network, while 
a query for a packet destined for myfavoritesearch.com would be 
handled by the ISP's DNS. This feature is configured on the VPN 
server (VPN Concentrator) and enabled on the VPN Client by 
default. To use Split DNS, you must also have split tunneling 
configured.
