Routing and RAS: Can you assign routes to clients?

Comment:
Is there any way to make a Windows NT 4.0 Routing and RAS server assign IP routes to VPN clients? The problem is that we have a Routing and RAS server on network segment x.y.z, and clients are assigned a route by the RRAS server that uses the VPN connection for x.y.z addresses, but we also have segment p.d.q on our LAN, and clients go through the Internet for p.d.q addresses, instead of through the VPN, unless they either set a route at the command line or configure the VPN connection to "use default gateway on remote network", which isn't a very good solution, because then it forces ALL traffic through the VPN. Is there any way to have RRAS assign clients a route to go through the VPN gateway for p.d.q addresses? (RRAS does have a place to add static routes, but that apparently only applies to the server itself.)
Summary: The first number should be a network address which should end in a zero. You can't route to a individual computer and no address should end in 255. And your subnet mask is wrong - it should be 255.255...
