If your using a concentrator you can assign an access-list ( filter-list
) that would define what traffic can and can't pass per Group. By
forcing users into a specific group then you can control what they get
access to, but only with the granularity of an access-list.

If your terminating your VPN clients on a PIX, nothing that I know of,
or at least can think of, would allow you to restrict what they can and
can't do. I haven't played with Production 7.x code however so that may
be possible in the new release.
