I'm using the Juniper client for OSX ('Network Connect') to access a client's VPN. It appears that the client is configured to not use split-routing. The client's VPN host is not willing to enable split-routing.

Is there a way for me to over-ride this configuration or do sometime on my workstation to get the non-client network traffic to by-pass the VPN? This wouldn't be a big deal, but none of my streaming radio stations (e.g. XM) work will connected to their VPN.

Apologies for any inaccuracies in the terminology.

** edit **

The Juniper client changes my system's resolve.conf file from:

nameserver 192.168.0.1

to:

search XXX.com [redacted]
nameserver 10.30.16.140
nameserver 10.30.8.140

I've attempted to restore my preferred DNS entry to the file

$ sudo echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf

but this results in the following error:

-bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied

How does the super-user account not have access to this file? Is there a way to prevent the Juniper client from making changes to this file?
