Routing: local link vs VPN provided route

Hi,

We have recently working on an OpenVPN scenario and we have found that
when there is a locally linked network, the route provided by OpenVPN
would not work:

- - Local network uses 192.168.1.0/24 network (thus we have a flags 'UC'
route)

- - Upon connection, the VPN would provide a route to 192.168.1.0/24
through the tun0 device.

It seems, however, that the packets would just go to local network.  Is
it possible to get packets to non-conflicting IP addresses (i.e. only
exist in either local network, or remote VPN'ed network) to go through
the tun0 device?

(Of course it's possible to configure the remote network or local
network as 192.168.0.0/24, just curious about this scenario - do we have
a switch or something?)

Cheers,
