Split-tunnel is a VPN term.  In practice, split tunnel allows the end-point to 
access a protecteed network (VPN) and an unprotected network (local or 
Internet) at the same time.  

It's mostly useful for a remote user to access local resources like a network 
printer.  Of course, the downside is if the end-point is infiltrated (trojan, 
RAT), it can be a jump off point for an intruder into the protected networks.

In general, you want to avoid split tunnels unless you've got some type of 
integrity/client validater on the end-point and use strong authentication.
