Split Tunnelling
From Internetworkpro
(Temporary page author note - I am (sartan) creating this page because I personally find split tunnelling and implementation to be cumbersome and confusing, I always mix up configuration 'direction' with crypto on both ios and asa platforms. The best way to learn is by teaching so I am creating this page.)

[edit] Security issues
Since split tunnels allow for end clients to remain connected to untrusted third party elements, some corporations may opt to disable any split tunnelling feature on an end client.

Most implementations will manipulate the host routing table to instruct the end-client which networks to encrypt and which networks not to.

[edit] ScreenOS
Put simply, ScreenOS does not support split tunnelling. Client-initiated software VPN on the ScreenOS platform only support one single subnet, and there is no mechanism to implement a split tunnel toward the host.
