Some vpn clients tweak the default route to be over the VPN, but I think that is silly unless the workstation is supposed to be totally locked down by the company's network. VPN doesn't need to be that way. You can still have the default route go out through your local ISP, while having one or more vpn tunnels going elsewhere. For instance, I keep a tunnel open to the 4 distinct offices of my major client, but my other internet traffic doesn't route over those vpn's.
