I know exactly what you are talking about. I had the same problems here.

Please have a look at http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~flemej/fbsd-cisco-vpn/ .

That (partly) solved the problems for me, however I have to set the routes =
to=20
the subnets behind the VPN-server manually after establishing a connection =
to=20
the VPN-server via mpd.=20

If I set the routes in the mentioned script, the routingtable seems to be o=
k,=20
but setting the routing entrys this way leads to the same problems you=20
already mentioned. I have no idea whats wrong and why I have to set them=20
manually.

Perhaps we can figure out this minor last problem together.

Best Regards,

Markus
