I’ve seen a slightly different behavior, and have found a workaround.
I have a 10.6.2 Server installation, and I find that when I connect via VPN and then try to connect to the server (ssh, server admin, etc.) the connection works for a little while and then fails. Tcpdumping the snot out of things reveals that the individual TCP connections work until a DNS request arrives from the VPN client and the server responds. From that point the TCP connection (that ssh session, for instance) is dead. This is reproducible.
The workaround is to configure VPN clients to get a DNS server *other* than the VPN server – everything works fine after that. This is not optimal, as you no longer get ‘internal’ DNS resolution, but it does work.
I have no idea what is going on in OS X Server to cause this to happen, but perhaps this information is useful just the same.
