I can answer the second question. Yes it is possible to route
specific traffic through the MSU VPN (Juniper Network Connect). I have
done it for both Windows and Mac using the route command, which is
available on both Mac OS X and Windows XP (maybe 2000) and higher. Our
department subnet is not in the 35.8,9,10,11,12,13,14 or 35.15 subnets,
so traffic to our servers is not routed through the MSU VPN by default.
I am curious about the answer to the first question. Are we allowed to
route MSU traffic through the vpn even though the addresses are not 35.x
addresses?
