New but...
this is new to 10.2
I tried it out with my office VPN (MS via PPTP). It works fine except for one thing.
When the VPN is active MacOS will route all your web traffic through it. If your VPN does not forward it to the outside, you've lost all access to anything but the VPN intranet.
There's not much about it in the Apple discussion boards, except this. Apparently, if you know enough about unix, you can configure the router properly. Hopefully, Apple will have a GUI for this in 10.2.1...

I believe that this is how PPTP works. It is not as good of a VPN as IPSec, mostly since it was in use years before.

no, it's not related to PPTP, but to the way routing is handled when PPTP is activated.
actually a good idea
Most VPN clients will drop internet access at the same time as they open a VPN connection. Most IT departments will in fact require this behaviour. This is to protect your VPN network from packets routed via your client from the internet.
actually a NOT good idea
This would only be a security issue if you set your machine up to act as a gateway. By default ip forwarding is off.
