OpenVPN can be configured to enable users to connect to some other network
without overriding the users default route, domain settings, etc.

I have a setup in wich we enable access to some servers only via openvpn,
but we don't wanna route all users traffic thought this network -- why on
earth I would route the user's gmail through the servers network?
