This was solved. In the advanced settings, the button to select "Send
all traffic through the VPN" needed to be selected. I had actually
tried setting this option to that before without success. Previously
I had made the change, selected apply, reconnected the VPN and it did
not work. The trick was to select the option, apply it, then
immediately reboot the Mac. Apparently the change in VPN settings did
not take until the machine had rebooted.
