Split DNS = split tunneling, I think you mean.

Simple question: does the "datacenter" network want to trust the entire
remote network?  If so, go for split tunneling.  If there is anything on
the remote network that you dont want to trust, disallow split tunneling.

My experience is split tunneling is very, very high-risk for the target of
the VPN.
