Static route through Netscreen Remote: can it be done?

Hi -

My network is acessible by via a VPN tunnel via Netscreen Remote 8.3 to a Netscreen 5GT. The trust interface is 192.168.0.1. Connections to

192.168.0.0/24 hosts from my users' remote PCs work fine. However, we have a 10.0.0.0/24 network whose gateway is at 192.168.0.2. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to tell Windows 2000 to route packets to 10.0.0.0/24 via 192.168.0.1, because the "deterministic network enhancer" which is used by the Netscreen Remote software is under the radar of basic Windows 2000 TCP/IP. That is, "route ADD 10.0.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.2 METRIC 1 IF 0x2" does not work, because not unreasonably, there is no official route to the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet.

Does anybody know whether it is possible to hack this so 10.0.0.0/24 packets are sent down the invisible VPN interface? Looking at the Netscreen Remote software, there doesn't appear to be any way to add this, short of creating a completely separate tunnel for this interface (I imagine that I would have to bind a 10.0.0.x address to a new VPN gateway, somehow).

Any ideas?
