local proxy routing to vpn connection

I'm trying to figure this out, and wondering what your thoughts are.
I have apps that search web indexes, i want to isolate the search to the vpn tunnel, but they need to live in the default namespace to talk to fileservers and other resources.

So socat to the rescue again, just in reverse of the method i used for the last issue.
Sadly, it doesn't work the way i'd hoped, as the apps i'm using aren't smart enough to ignore the proxy setting for the local subnet resources, meaning everything hits the proxy. And since its a one/off proxy I can't use WPAD/PAC files etc to do splitting. :)
