[vpn-help] Ambiguous Source IP Address with overlapping address pools

With Windows 7, and Shrew Client 2.1.7 if a user has a DHCP address on the
same network as the virtual address pool then the source address is not
always the same, some traffic will get tunneled and other traffic won't. In
the case where the traffic is tunneled the source IP is the Virtual IP, in
the case where traffic is not tunneled the source IP is the interface's DHCP
address. In the case where "tunnel all" is set then it seems like the source
address should always be the virtual IP address.

Is there a reason why some traffic is tunneled and other traffic is not?
What is the logic of which source address is used? Is that an OS specific
issue or is that specific to the shrew client? Is the configuration as
described above supported? If not can support be added?
