Like Julian, we don't allow split-tunneling, except for a few
system/network admin folks

We set up a citrix vpn service and I became aware that we're allowing
split tunneling.  This is verboten most places I've been, but some of the
network staff have voiced that it might be a preferred way to go.

Our traditional VPN service (PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, and Cisco IPSec VPN Client)
does not use split tunneling.  When we originally rolled out the service,
we tried to use split tunneling, but since it was desired that the VPN be
used to access things like library licensed materials that were IP
restricted, the split tunnel list quickly became unmanageable, so we turned
off split tunneling and tunneled all traffic.

A few years back, we rolled out SSL VPN services with a layer 3 tunneling
client available.  That service is targeted at sysadmins,
vendors/consultants, and users of sensitive systems, so we are usuing split
tunneling there.
