Split tunneling not working with IPSEC Client on iPad/iPhone

I am able to connect fine from iPhone using IPSEC VPN Client to Cisco IOS Router. On the Router we have defined several internal networks in the split tunnel access-list. Now after I am connected, I am able to access ONLY the first internal network defined on the split-tunnel ACL. Internal n/w on subsequent ACL's are not reachable.

If I configured 'tunnel-all' on Router, everything works fine. But I do not want iphone/ipad user to access Internet using my Router's ISP.

This works fine from Windows based PC.

Any insight will be helpful.

Regards.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

According to one VPN manufacturer, iOS does not support split-tunneling on Apple devices. All traffic must be passed through VPN end-point.

Very frustrating!

Select Yes, force all Internet traffic to flow through the tunnel..

This configures the tunnel for default-route VPN. The VPN client on the Mac OS X or iOS device does not support split tunneling.
