Thanks for the reply. I actually figured out how to do it with
NetworkManager-vpnc.
The VPN connection editor for NetworkManager-vpnc has an option that
lets you choose which addresses you want to use the VPN connection for.
So, I entered the subnet for the remote network, and it worked! I was
able to browse the Internet.
But, DNS still breaks for the local network. I guess I'll have to try
your script for that.
What a pain in the ass NetworkManager can be. :(
Regards,
Ranbir
