You were joking about the Kazaa right?
You don't let your users utilize Kazaa, Gnutella, Etc...
Do you?

I would dis-allow internet access through the VPN, and teach the users the 
right way to log off.  Dis-allowing internet access through the VPN will make 
it very clear to them when they are on, and when they are off...

Conversation: question about windows VPN
Subject: [windows2000] question about windows VPN
We would like to offer the ability to logon to the network from home through a 
VPN connection.
This is all setup nicely, but we see one problem on the horizon.
 
While testing the VPN solution with a small amount of volunteers, we noticed 
the following:
When an end-user starts a VPN session, a small icon with two connected 
computers appears in quick launch section, which indicates that you have an 
active VPN connection....Unfortunately, our end-user are not smart enough to 
understand that they have to disconnect when done......
And since we offer internet through the VPN, it slowed down my internet 
performance....
And people don't understand why their kaaza or overnet doesn't work anymore....
 
Is there an option that logs off after a certain time of inactivity or 
something, or other smart options???
