That's pretty much what I read. I thought they may have provided a fix by now. As for the workarounds, this is for a business partner network and I've already presented them with the "spend" option and they don't want to.
This whole 'no out the same interface' game is why I really dislike using a PIX for VPN termination. Even a cheap router is a good call. (1801). Its much cheaper than an ASA, can hang off another interface, etc. (Of course -- I work for a Cisco partner; I'm biased. :) )
Another reply I got here from Simon expressed the possibility that PIX 7.x supports this. (split horizon?)
PIX 7.0 supports hub and spoke VPN routing, but only hub and spoke; I don't think you can generically turn around and send data UNENCRYPTED out of the same interface it came in -- only encrypted.

Idon't want to allow split-tunnel. I cant find any info on how to dothis. Is splittunnel the only way to give a vpn client internet access once they areconnected? The short answer is yes. PIX-fu rule #1: the PIX is not a router. It can't take traffic that arrives on one interface and pass it back out that same interface, even when the traffic arrives via VPN tunnel. That said, you can sort of solve this problem by having the clients use a proxy server while connected via full tunnel. There may or may not be an elegant way to automate this for your road warriors, but this would really be independent of anything the PIX or VPN client do. (Think login scripts, Group Policy, etc.) If it's a big enough issue that you're willing to spend time and resources on it, I would recommend looking at the VPN3K concentrators (or ASA 5500?). They can do exactly what you're asking for, plus they possess a number of other features for managing VPN client users that the PIX doesn't have. (Like dynamic VPN profile assignment via RADIUS.)
