[Gllug] Right way to route some traffic to a VPN connection

I have a LAN which has a permanent connection to the 'net, plus a VPN
connection to another LAN.  IP addresses on the local LAN are allocated
by DHCP.  What is the correct way to tell the machines on the LAN to use
one machine as their default gateway and another (the one which handles
the VPN connection) for packets for one particular range of IP
addresses?

Method 1 - include information for both in the DHCP server (and if so,
how?)

Method 2 - just set up the default route by DHCP, then have the default
gateway issue redirects to client boxes as the need arises.  (and if so,
does the gateway need any particular setting up?)

TIA,
John
