Two Internet Gateways

I have one Internet gateway which has VPN connection to our headquarter.
There is a problem of Web access speed because all Internet access goes via
VPN and through the gateway in the headquarter.
I want to have our local gateway additionally to access Web and to use the
existing gateway to access only our mailserver in the headquarter.
How can I manage this issue?
Any advices would be appreciated.

Install and use a VPN client, e.g., Cisco, to access
the mailserver. It will connect via the local gateway,
as with all the other Internet connections. The idea
of using VPN is to maintain security between the remote
system and the host; the VPN client should also have
this capability.
 
This is a routing problem. What you want is the default route to be your
local internet connection and the route for your headquarter to be the VPN.
If you open a command prompt and type "route print" you will see all the
current routes.

You will need add a new default route (the 0.0.0.0) to your local interface
to the internet.

As far as adding a Cisco VPN client I don't know what that guy was thinking.
