VPN config issues

I have a couple of issue with using the VPN.
1 - The router currently acts as the DHCP server. When someone logs into the
VPN, the VPN is issuing the IP. Is there a way for the router to do it?

2 - When connected to the VPN all network traffic automatically goes through
that connection. For example if someone is connected to the VPN and is
running a skype session or something similar and than drops the VPN
connection, their skype session drops as well. Is there a way to prevent
this?

Thanks for any help,
Joe

1. yes, this works. However, if you have Windows as RRAS, it is better to use Windows DHCP.
2. yes, this is default settings. However, you can split the tunnel. This search result may help,
