Kinda-Sorta VPN?

OK guys, I have successfully set up a VPN server on my windows 2k3 server, but I was wondering if it is possible to have a, in my own technical terms, "kinda-sorta-VPN." What I would like to do is allow users to connect to resources on the internal network, but not screw up everything like internet, etc - I want all that to remain connection dependant - meaning, if a client tries to access the internet or any other resource besides files, they are on their own connection. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Dan
 
Yes that is possible and is very common. It's called split tunneling. Traffic destined for the central sites goes through the VPN other traffic goes to the internet. The down side is that you are connected to both the public internet and the private network at the same time and now your central site's network is only as secure as the remote PCs connected to it.
