Your use of "$subnet" is confusing here, and I'm not precisely sure what
you're referring to; perhaps you could supplement this by posting ipsec.conf,
so we can get a better idea of your tunnel structure.

However, if you've got a VPN tunnel on the freeswan box to subnet 10.0.0.0/8,
then it looks as if the problem is that FreeS/WAN believes packets
destined for 10.1.10.139 should travel down that tunnel, as that subnet
encompasses the packet's destination. The basic problem is that
subnets that are VPN'd together should not overlap, or at least not appear
to - it causes strange routing issues (like the one you are experiencing).

Does the head office use the 10.1.10 subnet? My guess would be probably not,
as you've not mentioned any problems the clean LAN has communicating with
head office. Is there a better way to describe the head office LAN's network setup
to avoid this confusion (perhaps resorting to multiple tunnels if need be)?
