"/sbin/ip route add REMOTE_IP/NETMASK via LAN_IP dev ethX" If the remote IP(s) are on different subnets you would use multiple statements. Change ethX to whichever nic is connected to the VPN. Hope it works!
MIke the REMOTE_IP is that the IP of my client (ie laptop connected in a hotel room?) if so , i guess this will not work since my IP on the cleint side will always change, or is this the IP of the VPN ROUTER?
